In NYU you may have very interesting and entertaining time behind your major. In Stevens you would live in Hoboken... so, up to you.Christine90NY said:I plan on majoring in physics. Where would I be better off - Stevens Institute of Technology or NYU? If I was doing engineering I'd go for Stevens for sure...but is Stevens good for physics too?

It seems to me that Columbia is stronger in Physics than NYU.

NYU has a good Math department as well: http://math.nyu.edu/
Certainly, it would be expensive to live in that part of NY... but the Village is a lot of fun.
