[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The core classes in the humanities at Columbia  - contemporary civilization, literature, art, music, frontiers of science - are probably the best courses taught in the Ivy League for undergraduates. The students will carry this training and experience with them for a lifetime and use it not only in their studies but apply it to many activities and to other things throughout their lives.

The university spends millions in making these the best undergraduate courses available. Top training. [/quote]

The Columbia boosters are more genteel than the UMD boosters but no less OTT[/quote]

Seriously.  [/quote]

I am a lawyer and on a number of occasions when Columbia grads were writing briefs, they told me at the time, and afterward, how their core courses continued to be a wonderful help for depth and breadth to enrich their critical writing and to provide illuminating analogies to mine when arguing points. [/quote]

And to write complex sentences using words like "enrich" and "illuminating". [/quote]

That sentence was way way above average for DCUM.  [/quote]
