[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless there really is a strong #2 that has EDII- Write a strong and meaningful LOCI, your student should note the traditions of Columbia that resonate, i.e. how the core connects students to alumni, the Varsity Show, doing the Swim Test with friends as a senior, Bad Poetry contest - the things that are unique. [/quote] NP: how does the core connect students to alumni?[/quote] In the Core students read the same texts, Iliad, Odyssey, the Inferno and study same philosophers, Plato, Hobbes, Descartes as they have for decades (they do add in some modern writers/thinkers but there is consistent content). When they meet alums, regardless of how long ago they graduated, they talk about what they learned from the Core, their favorite/least favorite books etc. It is actually very bonding. [/quote]
