In addition to showing Columbia’s Ivy League status, the campus environment instills a sense of campus pride in students. The presence of Low Library, Butler Library, and the Alma Mater Statue right in the heart of campus burns loyalty in the hearts of students. Tuition fees are incredibly high, but the experience is worth what you pay. The staff are always helpful and most teachers have an open door policy, which makes it easy for students to approach and ask questions. Classes are generally small, allowing more attention to be given to each student, and teachers are happy to answer questions. In fact, when no questions are asked, the professors seem disappointed! If you can afford it or get a scholarship, Columbia University is a good choice.
