I'm currently debating between Columbia (SMS) and Yale (SBS) for my MPH next year. Thoughts?

I say Columbia all the way!
Reasons: (based on loc)
1. it's in NYC! it can't get any better
2. ranked # 6 as opposed to yale's rank
3. it's NYC, baby!
Yale:
okay, fine... it's a great school, yada yada yada lol BUT can you picture yourself living out in the what I like to call "yawnsville"
It's funny I am deciding between Columbia and Emory, and I think I'm leaning towards Emory....maybe Columbia.... maybe Emory! I can't decide....

My main attraction to Yale is the small class size. As much as I like 99% of Columbia better, that's something I just can't get around.
For whatever that's worth, I visited Emory and Columbia and spoke to a fair number of faculty at each and the main difference between the two that I saw is that Emory is better if you want to "practice" public health while Columbia is better if you want to be a researcher.

And thank you for your input!
If you go with Yale, you'll be happy with the faculty. It's a very student friendly, fostering environment!

I am deciding between Columbia and Yale as well.
Location: Columbia
$$$$: Yale
Name:Yale
Grades: Yale (pass/fail)
I am not sure if I should go to Columbia, but at this time i cannot justify paying $10,000 more a year.
Thoughts?

I was accepted to Yale, Columbia and a few other programs and ended up choosing Yale. I spoke with many Yale students/alumni and they all spoke very highly about the program.
I currently live in NY, so leaving the city will be difficult, but I am excited to go to Yale which has a great campus (unlike columbia) where I can meet and interact with other students. I also found the faculty at Yale to be very supportive.
I hope that this helps!
