Hey, i have a quick question. I plan to take a campus on June 13th. My friends who has visited other colleges said they registered beforehand, but the Columbia website says you only need to make reservations for 10+ people. So if I'm the only one going, do I need to preregister, or do I just show up? Thanks.
Just went to visit the campus last tuesday and it was BEAUTIFUL! Being in nyc, I did not expect the grounds to be as clean and manicured as they were. The staff that I spoke with was very friendly and helpful and even the admissions officer I spoke with was willing to answer any questions that you would have. The surrounding area was very clean and even though it is in NYC, the area had a college town feel to it. Columbia is 5/5 stars in my book!
Haven't visited for a few years, but showing up on campus for move-in day as a freshman who had never been to NYC before...GREAT campus life. Safe, friendly, clean (except the subways...eew) and easy to navigate. All the advantages of a small school with all the opportunities of a large campus. If you're considering Columbia (or Barnard for that matter), go visit for sure before you make up your mind.
