[quote=Anonymous]Hello :

I am a Columbia College alum.  Congratulations! The College is a great school and the core program consists of very stimulating courses.  Your child will make friends quickly in the dorms and on the meal plan.
New York City subway system is easy to navigate and one learns quickly. Much of the time,. students just need the Number 1 train which is at 116th Street, in front of Columbia.  Many, many classes are small and your child will find much intellectual stimulation from the teachers and students. Culturally, there are tons of things to visit. I found myself going with friends to museums, plays, movies, restaurants, and simply wander through Little Italy and Chinatown.

There are always things to do on campus and in Morningside Heights, so much in fact that for months I would not even leave campus beyond a few blocks.

There will be many students from rural and suburban areas similar to your child. I met students from all over the US and from countries in different continents.

The courses and teachers are all fully described in student course write-ups.

I miss my college days and really wished for an extra year or so at Columbia to take other courses.

The alumni are pretty good and help with internships and mentoring for those undergraduates who want these opportunities.

Endless intellectual and cultural opportunities.

After Columbia, I studied International relations at University of Oxford. That was an excellent experience in the United Kingsom, but I much preferred the classes and opportunities at Columbia College. [/quote]
