Columbia College Chicago

Hipsters Think They Are Cool.

The reason I enrolled in Columbia College was because I wanted to become a Sports Journalist and I knew that was the program that had many networking and career opportunities. I apparently was 1 of 15 students at the school who felt the same way.

Columbia College is full of a bunch of rich kids who didn't want to go to college but their parents forced them too. They get drunk and party all night in their dorms that their parents paid for and come to class high. There is not many bars by Columbia, but the hipsters like to trash everything in sight. I went to one party and I had enough. All it is, is underage drinking with people who think they are cool. I was too busy working to care about their problems.

Not Much Selection, but I Love Panera Mac+Cheese.

Columbia has a few selections of restaurants such as Dunkin Donuts, Dairy Queen, Subway, and a newly opened Panda Express. It has options but you get tired of them after 3 years. No complaints though. I give the dining a B- because there is a 7/11 and you can never go wrong with 7/11. Convenient random food that you always want; and of course Panera Bread. Panera Bread has delicious Mac and Cheese and I could not stop eating it. I just kept ordering it and ordering it. I mostly went grocery shopping at Aldi to save a lot of money, but once a week I would always get that five dollar mac and cheese. I was really depressed in college because I had to work to jobs and never received any scholarships to help. I was all alone. It i sad to say, but at that time in my life, the mac and cheese was my happiest moment.

Never Tried the Campu Dining.

Columbia is ridiculously expensive. I graduated but because I didn't want to have to take more classes then I had to. I never tried thier campus food because I had my own apartment, lived broke and shopped at Aldi. That's what you have to do, when it's impossible to receive a scholarship.
