[quote=Anonymous]My DC amd nephew are there as a sophomores and one is in the business school, the other in biology. It’s a great school, and they are loving their experience.

Pros:

Great classes, descriptions from my kid remind me of my MBA work. 
Big U, fun environment
Great sports school (tops in women’s basketball but also lots of other D1 sports) 
Columbia is a nice, small city
Lots of study abroad activities, including 3 week “maymester”. International business requires a semester abroad. 
Relatively affordable, especially with honors or capstone scholarship (giving merit aid)
Warm weather, especially during school but you escape during summer
Greek system but you don’t have to do it to have friends at all. (DS did not but nephew did)
Direct flights from DCA and IAD, or 8 hour drive.

Cons:
Its reputation is still catching up with what people think of SC/ red states. I was worried about the dynamic but it is a good mix of kids from a variety of states and backgrounds.

The distance is a bit of a pain relative to local DMV or driving distance schools, but only 1-2 a year.

It might be harder to get a job long term, but so far they seem to be well positioned. On track to get internships this summer.
