I don't think Mike Huckabee understands what the job of Ambassador entails. Doing pro bono work for the country you were assigned to = not what it is.

what are the odds that I have a totally random conversation with a co-worker yesterday about insomnia, in which I mention that I never get it, and hey presto it's 4am and I can't sleep...

Maybe this will help.
Harvard: if you slip on the ice, your fellow students will leave you lying there, but the odds are good you'll be set for life with a Harvard degree. Yale: prepare to be surrounded by pretentious people in the creative arts, most of whom will never make a living in those fields. If you  like Harry Potter though you might love the residential college system. (Hint, be a Brammy if you can.)  Also downtown New Haven offers a British aspect, by which I mean if you go wandering there you may get stabbed by a stranger, just like a modern Londoner. UPenn: business majors run the place. Don't go there. Dartmouth: tiny and Greek. Great quarter system over semesters does leave you able to take classes that attract you rather than being stuck in four-months of a bad class. Everyone is friendly at Dartmouth. Maybe suspiciously so. Cornell: HUGE, with a great bridge to jump from if the pressure gets to you. Carl Sagan taught there. Lovely views of the valley but cold in winter. Princeton: even Japanese transfer students think the course load is too hard. If you want zero free time and an inferiority complex, I heartily recommend you go Tigers. Brown: almost forty percent of the student body is gay, 93-percent identify as "leftist" (not liberal) but there is ZERO general studies requirement, you take whatever appeals to you and can even go pass/fail, which is cool. Columbia: my dad hated the non-negotiable core curriculum requirements so much he bailed and went to a public university for his degree. No one is allowed to be an individual at Columbia. It's also risky to set foot off campus at night. That said, you will be in New York City. (New York City!!!)
Good luck.
