Help. I am from Chicago and have been accepted to the DPT programs at Columbia and USC. I know USC is rated higher, but I really liked Columbia. Both Cities have some great advantages. I can't decide if I want the California weather or the excitement of NYC.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Go visit both. LA is nasty, while NYC is amazing in so many different ways.

My suggestion is to make a list of criteria that you want from a PT school. Visiting the schools and talking to the faculty and students may also be helpful.
