What do you consider the best thing about your school? Why?Columbia University offers students a steller quality of education along with career and networking opportunities that will last long after graduation.  I feel the competitiveness drives students to try harder and exceed even our own level of expectations of our abilities.  The Career Center is very helpful with providing information about the vast number of exciting internships and job assistance opportunities available to students.  There are, also, an incredible amount of activities to get involved with throughout the semester, assuming you are able to tear yourself away from your studies long enough to participate.,Describe your school in one sentence.Columbia University offers an excellent education with amazing opportunities to look forward to upon graduation, as long as you can afford the massive tuition and living costs.

What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?There are very few things I dislike about Columbia. However, I sometimes feel a little lost in the big sea that is the university. Having come from a small class of 108 in high school, I never really thought about what it would be like to go to school with people I didn’t know. During my first semester, I had a lot of trouble with the anonymity of such a large community. I think Columbia could do a better job with making the community feel tighter.,What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?There are so many things that drew me to Columbia: the value of the Core Curriculum (how everyone is reading the same book at the same time), the gorgeous campus, the perfect location right in Manhattan. But my favorite part by far, what gives me (in my mind) the most bragging rights, is the fact that almost everyone I meet is an intelligent, well-rounded person. I am so interested by the people all around me, the conversations we have, the friendships we’ve formed.

What kind of person shouldn’t attend this school?Anyone closed minded and not willing to accept other people’s views and values should not attend Columbia University, for Columbia is a place of acceptance and equality no matter what race, creed, sex, or orientation a person may be. Equally respecting all human beings is one of Columbia’s most cherished quality by all of it’s students.,What’s the most frustrating thing about your school?The most frustrating thing about school would probably be having to juggle school and social life. The school is very rigorous and serious commitment is required to accel at Columbia. However, the harder you study, the more rewarding the time in which you do get to play becomes. So while being frustrating, it is also an extremely rewarding experience for a job well done.

What do you wish you had known before you came to this school?Looking back at my highschool self, I wish I would have known that all plans change.  There is nothing set in stone, no matter how much you plan.  I also wish I would have known to belive in myself more and be more confadent in my choices.,What kind of person shouldn’t attend this school?Anyone and everyone should attend college, especially one like Columbia.  I am not a rich person, nor do I come from a high profile, wealthy family.  I just put my heart into my application and was accepted.  I know it will be a great asset when going out into the work force after I graduate.
