John Jay Is Good for What It Is: a Dining Hall
With a variety of options, John Jay Dining Hall is adequate and a popular hangout amongst students. Despite really awkward hours and sketchy food from time to time, John Jay is very reliable. It is noted that students from other schools marvel at hos much better Columbia food is. A meal plan is a good idea. You do, however have NYC at your fingertips. Just keep in mind that it can get pricey.

A Cultural Hub
Columbia is in Manhattan. It is a good school. Therefore the smartest and most diverse students tend to congregate. If you're looking for an EXTREMELY open-minded and diverse crowd, Columbia's for you!

The Cops Have Better Things to Do?
I rarely heard of anyone getting in trouble for anything that wasn't deserved.

So Many Options
You're in New york City! Clearly, the local atmosphere is going to be exciting. There is almost something to do every night of the week.

Good Parties With Cool People
Columbia tends to have some pretty good parties among some of the run-of-the-mill frat parties. You'll have no problem running into fun.

Skyscrapers Hide a Lot
Sunlight is a rare thing and the winters are very cold. When it snows, puddles one foot deep collect on street corners! And sometimes when it rains! You'll need some good rain boots and an umbrella for all the walking you'll have to do.
