I feel my classes in general are stimulating and challenging . However, socially this school is very strange. Like most colleges there are plenty of drinkers and pot heads but a very unfriendly attitude is the norm among most of the students I've meet. There seems to be little if no school spirit possibly due to the lack of great sports teams and the uptown location. One thing that really annoys me is the overwhelming presence of Barnard students on campus. The library and gym are always overcrowded due to Barnard students. Many of the various clubs are also full of Barnard students.The editor of the spectator is a Barnard student.I have nothing against Barnard students but this campus should really be primarily for Columbia students. Also many of the dorms are subject to a high level of noise due to ambulance sirens and constant garbage pickups at night. So far and I know its still very early Columbia has been a disappointment.
