nk9230 August 11 2009	Parking in NYC is a disaster. I highly recommend taking the train or bus, and walking/ public transporting everywhere. It is much faster, cheaper and just easier to do. [View Full Report]
skipsmom February 17 2009	We used trains (to NJ) and mostly taxis. Flew into Newark which was supremely inconvenient when NYU/Tisch suddenly realized 2/16 was a holiday and postponed our info session to 2/17. [View Full Report]
fantastical July 07 2008	Subway is the most convenient as it stops right outside of columbia's gates, but it's $2 per ride (w/o student pass). [View Full Report]

wmmk March 30 2008	The 1-Train seemed very safe. I was surprised how much nicer the NYC subway is than the Chicago 'L' (which is our equivalent of a subway). Good luck finding parking in New York. [View Full Report]
livingtea August 31 2007	It's NYC. There is so much to see, so much to do. I saw Avenue Q, walked around Central Park, visited Chinatown/Times Square, and rode the ferry (gorgeous night view of the city). [View Full Report]

lavieboheme August 21 2007	The subway is your best friend. [View Full Report]
dubaiite August 19 2007	parking is much easier than rest of manhattan but the subway is the best bet. Harlem and its history is very close by and besides that, history lurks in every nook and corner. [View Full Report]
karen61990 July 29 2007	transportation= subway. I've walked it from SoHo before but I wouldn't suggest doing that. Parking= uh....take the subway. Don't drive. Loc. attractions= everything ny has to off [View Full Report]
skylandsmom July 11 2007	Columbia's website gives excellent directions, list of parking garages ($$). [View Full Report]
seempand June 26 2007	We rode the subway while in the city, which was easy enough to navigate and which probably every Columbia student will want to use if they ever want to get downtown. [View Full Report]
MLeigh June 24 2007	TAKE THE SUBWAY. [View Full Report]
fruitloops89 June 14 2007	Transportation of course is very convenient. Right outside campus is a subway station and multiple buses, including a free bus that takes you to the Columbia Medical Center that is more uptown. [View Full Report]
blondie625 June 13 2007	You can easily use the subway to get to Columbia. Take the one, and it has its own stop! [View Full Report]
Chet2006 September 22 2006	traffic is hard to move through if you're not used to NYC (like me) but the journey to Columbia builds up its esteem. [View Full Report]
brand_182 August 29 2006	Use the Subway if you're staying downtown. You'll get to the college in about 5-10 minutes. Definitely the fastest way around the city. [View Full Report]
ubetteraccept_me August 16 2006	There is a subway station right infront of campus--how convenient. [View Full Report]
senioritis42 August 13 2006	Easily accessible by train, car or plane. Subway drops you across the street from the campus. [View Full Report]
dot_parker August 12 2006	The 1 line stops right at 116th street, so there's no way you'll be unable to find the school. [View Full Report]
