 " It’s a good school. They have good well known professors in a lot of different fields that are leading in the major you will take. I do think some facilities like the gym need to be upgrade but at the same time it is cheap and a good enough gym for either when you are a student or alumni just becuase it is based in NYC. "

 " Columbia has a lot to offer. Being in NYC is an amazing experience and the university provides an incredible education. Stress culture can be a real thing at elite institutions, but having a supportive social group, working on your mental health and communication skills, and looking after yourself go a long way.

 " Perfect! It's a beautiful campus that offers a great environment for learning and experiencing life in NYC. The education is excellent, and the classmates are friendly and supportive. You may face challenges along the way, but overcoming them helps you grow. I'm excited for you to experience it too. Hope to see you on campus! "

 " Great academics, expensive location for a student budget, not enough extracurricular opportunities compared to other universities. The clubs/societies aren't as active as other schools and don't offer as many unique (and funded) opportunities as you might expect from an Ivy. Study abroad opportunities are lacking as well. But overall, it still holds strong for brand recognition and it's understood by employers that the academic instruction is going to be more rigorous, higher quality, and often more time consuming than non Ivy universities. Students spend the vast majority of their time studying, which leaves little room for professional and/or other enrichinging experiences that other friends have had at other schools that push for more balance of academic + professional development/resume boosting opportunities.

 " Great uni with amazing research opportunities. The campus is beautiful and makes you feel like you are part of history. I love New York and the campus is in a nice part of the Upper West Side. There are many hospitals and labs nearby campus. You can take a variety of course not specific to your major and it is encouraged to explore a lot of subjects. "
