[quote=Anonymous]Yes, Columbia has its own beautiful campus; and Morningside Heights, a residential part of Manhattan is just outside the campus. Upper middle class to wealthy ( on Riverside Drive), cosmopolitan, good restaurants and coffee /pizza/sushi shops. Very intellectually stimulating. You feel lifted intellectually when you arrive at Morningside heights and enter campus. Riverside Cathedral and Church of St. John the Divine are gorgeous gothic cathedrals,  breathtaking. ( Google the images).  St. John the Divine is apparently the largest cathedral in the world, and it has a biblical garden with peacocks walking freely about. Columbia has some relationships with these two cathedrals because they have been used in connection with either a few graduation ceremonies (St. John the Divine), and for community gatherings 9 Riverside Cathedral).

The Number 1 subway is just outside campus at 116thStreet and will take you anywhere in Manhattan. lincoln Center at 59th street is just maybe seven subway stops away - 12 minutes ride (?). The United Nations is maybe 30 minutes away on two subways, transferring at 42 nd Street. Easy, easy transportation.

It was very stimulating being there. prices were not outrageous at all. Pizza the same prices as other northeast cities, and a great pizza restaurant or two  that made me want to return for more.

Highly recommend a visit. [/quote]
