 " Overall decent school just overly priced. Some of the buildings are a lot older so accessibility is sub par in certain areas. They heavily promote how inclusive they are and then when you get here they don't always walk the walk just talk the talk. "

 " I enjoy my school but the environment around it which is the south side of Chicago sometimes may feel sketchy and not have the best characters walking around my school. But my school is good with having a lot of security sitting around. But I personally do not feel safe doing a night class. "

 " Expensive, wish I would have chosen a cheaper college. I did enjoy my time there, but I also think I could've enjoyed my time any where. The teachers were cool, and I did learn a lot, but I don't know if I would recommend it to a friend. Maybe if they did two years of community college first. "

 " I had an amazing time during my time here. All of my classes were great and my professors were definitely professionals in their respected fields. Every class that I attended, the professors were so passionate about what they were teaching and they were so engaging with the classroom as well. It was definitely a different experience compared to high school. The only downside of this college is that it mostly focuses on the “arts” so there isn’t a lot of sports that one can join. "

 " I transferred to this College for my sophomore year. I was a film major and was extremely impressed with the facility and rental equipment. High-end cameras are easily borrowed for projects. I ended up switching majors into marketing and was pleased to see that switching majors is simple and doesn't set you back. The campus is my favorite part of Columbia. The campus buildings are sprinkled all over Wabash and Michigan Ave. which really integrates you into city life. Overall I would highly suggest this school to anyone who dislikes traditional state school campuses. "
