Columbia is an amazing opportunity. A great university with a gorgeous campus in the middle of the city. Medium to small class sizes, great professors and a core curriculum that will (whether you like it or not) make you learn countless new things and bring you and your entire graduating class closer together. Nonetheless, it is a demanding school where it is easy to get swept up in “stress culture”. With so many opportunities at our disposal, its entirely up to students to decide the ones that they want to take advantage of (extracurriculars at Columbia, study abroad programs, interesting classes outside of our majors, discovering the city, ect.). Though the sheer amount of choices and workload can be a lot at times, it is undoubtedly an amazing place to discover your passions and follow them.
