Message: [QUOTE="MilfordHusky, post: 2876070, member: 366"] The neighborhoods around NYU and Columbia are very different. My son went to Columbia for grad school and works fairly close to NYU. Lower Manhattan (The Village, SoHo, TriBeCa, Meatpacking District, etc.) is uber popular. I agree about Pepperdine. The scenery is incredible--and almost distracting. UCSD isn't too shabby either, but it's more on a plateau, so the views of the ocean are more limited. My son went to Rice, which has a beautiful campus, but the weather in Houston is humid. USC has a nice campus, but the surrounding area is sketchy. UCLA is hard to beat, but my favorites include Stanford, Berkeley, and Princeton. [/QUOTE]
