nightlife sucks
Of course, the nightlife in NYC is amazing... and you can go with a few people downtown and have an awesome time but you really don't get a sense of community at Columbia. The same exact few people go to a bar called Mels on Columbia campus every single thursday friday and saturday night. It gets really, really, REALLY, boring after a while and there is no change in pace. The frats and sororities are very exclusive so when they actually do throw a party, which never happens, it is usually at the only bar people go to so everyone's night is ruined because they can't get into the bar. Everyone is off doing their own thing and the students really are not inviting.

Alright
The atmosphere sucks, but you can easily hop on the subway to head downtown. A lot of people feel boxed in on campus and don't usually take the effort to head downtown. I agree, and would have liked it if columbia felt more homey.

No one really drinks at columbia. If you go to the bars you can see people smashed here and there...but everyone is usually studying on the weekends or needs to study the next day so too many people monitor their intake.
