Any accepted students getting boatloads of mail and email from Columbia
I have, it is absolutely ridiculous. Today is the very first day, excluding sundays, that I haven't gotten mail from them, in at least two weeks.

You mean the letters from alumni, students, random things they send you like, "hey, Columbia's cool!" etc?

Do you guys get any cool stuff (t-shirts, bumper stickers, etc.) at least? All I got from Columbia was a DOC shirt.

A small bumper sticker came with acceptance packets (Color Shock brand, so at least they're good quality). Otherwise, zip...the goody bags at DoC consisted of an apple, a bottle of water, and a cookie.

Wow, NightOwl... way to bash on Barnard before you've even been to Columbia! You're not even a current student.. maybe you shouldn't discriminate until you've at least interacted with a Barnard student at least once. ;p

Yeah, the constant mail really is a nice touch. However, I am currently very unhappy because I didn't get a bumper sticker like NightOwl!

^Unfair!
I didn't even get this alleged bumper sticker...
Though I suppose the night bus tour at the accepted students thing qualifies as them spending money on us.

Yeah, but I was still able to smootch off a MUN t-shirts, so all is not lost...
But look on the bright sight, once we get to CU, we can get all kinds of columbia stuff.
