[quote=Anonymous]The School of General Studies has veterans from the military, business people , writers, etc.  I was an undergraduate at Columbia College.The College is clearly a separate institution with separate admissions criteria, a separate admissions office, and a separate degree which says Columbia College on the degree on a separate diploma in Latin.

I met GS students on campus and they ALWAYS ENRICHED my college experience, and became like older brother or sister to me.  Rarely were they in my classes as GS has its own faculty, its own building on campus and its own corses. The times when GS students were in my classes, they always enriched the texture of the discusions, provided insights that 18-22 year olds could not possibly obtain otherwise. They always made the classes more meaningful. Most classes however, were with members of the College, and not GS.

In any event, my time at Columbia was a fantastic, magical buffet of intellectual and cultrual opportunities.  The few GS students I interacted with made this learning experience at Columbia even better. [/quote]
