I enjoyed my experience thus far at Columbia University. There is suprisingly an overwhelming amount of diversity and inlcusion provision programs and activities done by the university. I appreciated seeing this coming in from a community that was predominantly white. As a person of color, I did notice that much of the staff had very little representation of myself as a black woman. Most representation is within the cleaning, sanitation, and cooking positions. This is one thing upon my peers and I that we have noticed that does not help with the representation of people of color in high fields of society.

It has very well-educated professors who are experts in their respective fields, so the quality of learning is quite high. They challenge us to think and read beyond the surface, and to engage with the material in a more meaningful way. The classrooms are spacious, well ventilated/heated, and are equipped with microphones to help enhance the students’ and professors’ audibility in class. The campus is gorgeous! Always clean and full of beautiful scenery. Overall, Columbia is an amazing school
