Among many schools on the list, two universities in new york stand out: Columbia University and new york University (NYU). These two universities are ranked as 18 and 39 respectively in the QS World University Rankings in 2020. Ranked 8 th and 28 th respectively in the 2020USNews World University Rankings.
Let's take a look at the differences between the two schools in academic advantages, geographical location and tuition fees:
First, academic advantages
Next, let's take a look at the performance of NYU at Columbia University in various disciplines. In the latest subject ranking of 20 19, these two top universities are excellent in art, humanities and law research.
New york University ranks third in the world in philosophy. Rank of legal major 10. World ranking of accounting and finance 12.
The top major of Columbia University is anatomical physiology, ranking sixth in the world. Archaeology, history, humanities and social sciences all rank eighth.
The professional rankings of these two schools have their own strengths, and the gap between other majors is obvious. It can be generally seen that Columbia University is better at the research of science and engineering majors, while New Zealand University is biased towards liberal arts majors.
Second, geographical location.
Columbia University is probably described as convenient transportation, classical campus and beautiful lawn because of the stereotype of Ivy League University. However, unlike Ivy League schools such as Princeton or Yale University, Colombia is more like an "island of peace" in a bustling metropolis. It's in the corner of Manhattan's Upper West Side, but it's still a certain distance from the surrounding area.
Harlem, near Colombia, is one of the most culturally diverse communities in the city, although its geographical location is a bit remote. But it is still close to Central Park and the Hudson River, and there is a picturesque space in the huge jungle of modern buildings.
This geographical location can even be said to be a perfect school! Being away from downtown, students can concentrate on their studies relatively, and at the same time, they are close to the metropolis, which is very convenient for both job hunting and daily life.
New york University is located in the center of new york, allowing students to deeply appreciate the atmosphere of the city. The campus is mainly scattered in Greenwich Village around the city.
The central campus of new york University is located in Washington Square, without walls, and it is perfectly integrated with the whole city! There are many restaurants, bars and cafes here. It can be said that it is one of the most culturally vibrant central areas in the world.
Third, the composition of students.
There are more students in new york University than in Columbia University. However, these two schools are large-scale (compared with the College of Arts and Sciences) and can provide a very large student population and a very diverse student culture. Comparatively speaking, as one of the rattan schools, major universities are more popular with international students, so the proportion of international students is higher.
The positioning difference between Columbia University and NYU is quite obvious. Columbia University has more graduate students than undergraduates, and prefers research universities. The number of undergraduates in new york University is almost three times that of Columbia University. So new york University prefers undergraduate education to scientific research.
Fourth, tuition fees.
Needless to say, the tuition fees of the top private universities in the United States are very expensive. Columbia University and NYU University are no exception. During the period of 18- 19, the tuition and living expenses of undergraduate students in Columbia University were about $59,430. However, the tuition fee of new york University during the period of undergraduate 18- 19 is roughly $565,438+0,288.
The tuition fees for graduate students will vary greatly according to the courses that students apply for, but generally speaking, the tuition fees for master students are between 50,000 and 55,000 dollars a year. The tuition fees of graduate schools in these two schools are relatively cheap. The tuition fees of popular majors such as MBA may be as high as 70,000 yuan, with an average annual cost of about100,000 yuan.
Generally speaking, the strength of these two schools is similar, and they have their own strengths in different professional fields, depending on where your professional goals are.
