Its NYC, so people keep to themselves. Lots of iPod listeners walking around. Still nice though. [View Full Report]

This was end of August, some students around. Appeared to have that city vibe of go, go, go with the head down. Tour guide was very friendly and down-to-earth. [View Full Report]

Good; son met one person in a group of bullhorns and activity (which guide attempted to talk over, unsuccessfully). Student described leadership group activities to son, suggested he look into it. [View Full Report]

Met several students and asked them where the heck the stadium was and where I'm supposed to play ultimate frisbee with friends. They were very friendly and polite. [View Full Report]

I hung out with a few Columbia students and they were all very sociable and interesting. Then again, I'm used to "city" people, so a Midwesterner's opinion may be different. [View Full Report]

The tour guide was friendly; although I didn't engage in any conversations with the students they did not look at all intimidating but instead rather approachable. [View Full Report]

When we were having breakfast in John Jay, we likely looked lost. As we were standing around the cereal dispensers, a very nice student told us about an omelette station across the room. Yum! [View Full Report]

The students were all very respectful and most of them were very happy with their college experience so far. They were willing to answer specific questions regarding their major or classes in general. [View Full Report]

The students I saw were friendly and courteous, but they were few in number. They all seemed to be in a hurry. It was apparent that the real social life wasn't on campus, and that everyone was fanning out into NYC. [View Full Report]

I visited on a Friday in April and a Monday in July, there weren't too many students to be found on either visit. I was politely helped when I asked a random student where to find a building, though. [View Full Report]
