cornell vs. harvard vs. princeton?
i got into all of these schools but i can't decide between the three for a double major in engineering and economics. please answer in detail.
The Economics major at Cornell is in the College of Arts & Sciences. Engineering is in the Engineering School. I'd call them to make sure that double majoring in programs in two different schools is possible. If you live in New York State, the Engineering School is about half the price of Arts & Sciences (also about half the price of Harvard or Princeton) and is the most prestigious undergraduate degree you can get at Cornell, but I'm not sure you can get a joint degree in economics. You can definitely take classes in economics, but I'm pretty sure you can't double major in two different schools. You can do a dual major, but because the different schools have different requirements, it takes an extra year. I'd call Cornell to ask about that.

You can, by the way, major in physics and other sciences as an Arts & Sciences major (I did for a while before switching to Philosophy), but it doesn't have the depth of different engineering options you'll find in the Engineering school. It does offer a breadth you miss in the Engineering school, though.

When I was looking at colleges, I absolutely hated my Princeton experience. They put three of us in a room for a joint interview, pitting us against each other in competition when we hadn't even applied to the school. That wasn't the kind of environment in which I wanted to live for 4 years. It's definitely the most pretentious of the three. If Cornell doesn't work for you, pick Harvard, the people I've met there are much more level headed than Princeton, though not as much as Cornell and Brown, as Ivy Leaguers go.
In terms of the quality of the education, they are all top notch. Pick based on other factors that are more individual to you.
I recommend Cornell, but I'm a bit biased as I went there.
