[quote=Anonymous]I have a child who will be coming from a pretty sheltered small town upbringing who is deciding whether or not to attend Columbia next year. Anyone know how hard it is to acclimate socially? Or how hard it is to adjust to NYC if you've never even taken much in the way of public transportation? Do you have to be wealthy to do stuff with friends in the city, given how expensive NYC is? If you had a bright kid who is ambitious but not necessarily into studying Plato, are the required core courses still somewhat enjoyable? Any other thoughts welcome, too. They are choosing between Columbia and a top small liberal arts college, so very different options, and they are more of a city person in their head, but they haven't had any exposure to that lifestyle, and they're unsure which to choose. I'm also a nervous mom and don't want to put that on them. Thanks.[/quote]
