Athletics at Columbia University

B-

A Decent Athletic Program

Columbia's overall athletic program is decent in that it is clear that the individual teams are striving to become better and there is a very strong sense of camaraderie and bonding that translates to the teams overall performance. Where the athletic program is lacking is in both the confidence in the legitimacy of the program and in the support of the athletic staff. Many student athletes feel that compared to other athletes they are not as talented and that Columbia athletics in general are sub par. This lack of confidence also translates in overall performance. This coupled with many athletes feeling neglected by staff in cases of hardships like injury and the like seems overwhelming as well. Fan support and school spirit have been increasing and has become better and better over the years which is very exciting. Hopefully this move towards student support will help boost the confidence of the athletes and the program overall.

Overall Experience at Columbia University

B+

Pretty Awesome

I have had many hardships in the last few years while I've attended Columbia University. I attributed a lot of these hard times to Columbia because that is where a lot of unfortunate things were happening to me. The last year has made me realize that Columbia is a great school and that unfortunate events clouded my judgements as to what it could really be. All aspects of students life are pretty awesome. Columbia is on a very beautiful small campus but lies smack dab in the middle of New York City. So if you like quiet secluded campuses or campuses in the middle of everything it has both! Not only its location and atmosphere very amazing. Academics are the best! I have loved all of my professors and have enjoyed going to class everyday! I am not that much of a night life, going out all the time kind of person but Night life in New York city is pretty awesome as you can probably imagine. Another thing that is great about Columbia is that they have many healthy food options available to the students which I think is very important! There is so much opportunity here! You have to really make it what you want it to be, and the good thing is that is a possibility.
