[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] To the fellow who keeps bashing GS :

You are ignoring the fact that Columbia College deans would not permit anything to harm the quality of education of its undergraduates coming from a traditional high school background. Its number one priority at the College, just as the website says is to maximize the best educational training and opportunities possible for its undergraduates.

The deans are world-class leaders in education at the College and there is no way that they permit even for a second a watering down of the education of thier undergraduates. The College program prides itself in being the best in studructured undergraduate education and invests mega-millions in its core requirements. No one and no leading academic would let his/her integrity and the institution's integrity be compromised by a dilution iin the educational experience. why are you selling them short ?

The College is the fifth oldest undergaduate institution in the nation. No committed academic leader or university president would tamper with that status or compromise the enormous resources iinvested in the College's undergraduate programs, incluing its vaunted core.

After Columbia College, I studied on a scholarship at University of Oxford. Both were absolutely stunning educational experiences with wonderful training and sharp -diamond-like minds. However, Columbia was the better of the two with more resources invested in the undergraduates, greater access to intellectual and cultural opportunities. The Bodlian Library at Oxford is a world leader, and Columbia's libraries are similar. The vibes of earnest scholarship felt and seen in the two library systems were no different. Who cares if a GS student is studying in the library.

I have no idea what your resentment is about, but the GS program is fine and no College student I have ever known has ever complained about GS students on campus; nor have I ever seen any literature anywhere about GS on the Columbia campus other than excellent reviews.

As an undergraduate I met veterans who opened my eyes about conflict in little-known parts of the world, a journalist, and a retired artist. Fantastic supplementary experiences which made m appreciate as a 21 year old  College junior what the world is like after college, and made me work even harder at the things in life which are important. They are a blessing to developing any undergraduate's world-view.

you're the type of college graduate that makes me cringe. I hope you just a troll.

The other poster going on about GS is absolutely right. [/quote]

It's an extension program.  But who cares, Columbia needs not follow other extension programs.  It's a maverick.   [/quote]
