Yes, Princeton University is more affordable than Harvard University. Their tuition fees and living costs are very similar. However, Princeton offers several scholarships without any debt. At Harvard, students have to repay their scholarship funds at an interest rate. Princeton University scholarships also carry a better average financial package.

Both are considered very good options for an MBA. Harvard carries a better reputation for its Business education. It has a global brand and access to better resources. A Princeton University MBA is more focused on research and academics.  Though Harvard has its own business school, this is not true for Princeton.

Princeton is good for students interested in a career in tech. Harvard is better for those interested in Finance or Economics.

UoB is considered better for an MBA than BCU. The Birmingham University MBA gives emphasis to responsible business practices and follows a practical approach to learning. This involves, using real-world case-studies to improve problem-solving skills. 

BCU follows a very similar model of teaching. At Birmingham University, students get better networking opportunities. Its global reputation, also gives better job opportunities to its students.

Both are very good but in different areas. Harvard has the better global reputation and stonger connections globally. NUS has better connections in Asia, similar quality of placements, and is far more affordable than Harvard University. In terms of culture, there is greater diversity at Harvard, compared to NUS. Students have better chances of admission at the National University of Singapore, as Harvard's acceptance rate is just 3.6%

TUM is very similar to MIT USA in certain aspects. It has a world-class research environment, as does MIT. It gives just as much importance to STEM courses and Innovation as MIT. It does not have the same level of reputation as MIT does, but, it is far more affordable than the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It also has a marginally better acceptance rate (8%), than MIT US (4.5%).

Columbia accepts around 4 applications for every 100 it receives. Its acceptance rate was 4.29% for the Class of 2029. NYU accepts twice the number of applications, at an 8% acceptance rate. You would have to work hard to get into either. However, at NYU you have a better chance.
