College Prowler Take
Most students absolutely love Columbia. They discovered the school that filled their academic, social, and professional needs. Since Columbia is so selective, most people who attend are thrilled to be here and would never wish to be anywhere else. Columbia has the potential to give any student what they are looking for—be it prestige, socialization, culture, or a degree from one of the finest schools in the world. The city is not for the weak-hearted. Those who need hand-holding may not find that kind of support here, but then again, they might, if they look in the right place. It takes time to find and access the things you want and need (and often students discover fulfillment in things they never thought they’d like before like exploring the city late at night or finding joy in Medieval Italian Literature), but if you’re willing to work a little bit and leave a little up to chance, you may get more out of college than most of your high school friends who went to smaller, less diverse schools with fewer opportunities. Sure, there are some disappointments, but on the whole, there is no place like Columbia in the city of New York—a place where you can not only get an Ivy League education, but also enjoy everything that the most exciting city in the world has to offer.

Columbia is great. It’s very bureaucratic, and the faculty is not very responsive, but there are so many opportunities in New York. It can be a bit overwhelming, but it is really amazing nonetheless. |

Columbia has been like a dream to me. There’s no place I would rather be. It truly is the consummate urban campus, and I have really grown to love the city. |

Sometimes, I wish I was somewhere more relaxed and warmer, but right now I wouldn’t trade anything for the city. It takes effort, the school doesn’t really help you much, so you have to do a lot on your own. That can be a good thing if you’ve got the guts. |

I am really happy with Columbia. I love pretty much everything about it! I don’t think that I could be happier anywhere else. The school is awesome, classes are hard but not impossible, and the core is a pain but a blessing in disguise—I have learned so much because of it, and sometimes, it can actually be fun. |
