Columbia is at the top of the most viewed list on CC's Campus Visits page, but we have a mere half-dozen reports right now. Check out Columbia University Visits.

If you have done a CU visit, please feel free to post your experiences as a visit report. Clearly, lots of people are wondering about the Upper West Side, Morningside Heights, and the students and atmosphere on the Columbia campus - your impressions will help build a composite picture of the school.

My first visit to Columbia is too old to post ('96), but it was a real eye-opener. I had expected a typical urban campus, but passing through the big gate on Broadway seemed to take one into a separate world. The students and staff we encountered were the opposite of the sharp-elbowed New Yorkers we expected, too - all went out of their way to be helpful.

Thanks for taking the time to share your impressions - if you want to describe your visit, be sure you are logged into the forum and click the "post report" link.
