5 - Excellent	wrldtravlr September 05 2011	Beautiful campus with very regal buildings. Appeared to be set off a little from the city. All the grass was chained off, however, was wondering if students got to use the grassy areas. [View Full Report]

5 - Excellent	Kalookakoo July 12 2010	There was more green than I thought there would be in the middle of NYC which caught me off guard. Even in the summertime you could see students and even New Yorkers lounging around and taking advanta [View Full Report]

5 - Excellent	abm915 December 05 2009	GORGEOUS!!! I loved the campus, it has an intense feel of education, it almost makes you feel smarter. When I was there, you couldn't walk on the grass, but other than that it is well taken care [View Full Report]

5 - Excellent	shwhitin April 10 2009	Absolutely beautiful and pristine, you would never guess it was in the middle of a major city. [View Full Report]
1 - Poor	skipsmom February 17 2009	Just awful. They should be ashamed that the campus is so dirty. Has a weird, post-apocalyptic vibe that is most unpleasant. [View Full Report]
3 - Good	McMath December 27 2008	Gorgeous campus but a bit overcrowded. It seems like a small city under siege by all the cars and new yorkers. [View Full Report]

5 - Excellent	Hatoyama December 01 2008	The campus looks like a "real" college campus plopped in the middle of the forests, say, Connecticut. But the buildings are closer together, and if you walk a block east or west, you're [View Full Report]
5 - Excellent	fantastical July 07 2008	The Columbia campus is just gorgeous. Lots of people having lunch/dinner on the library steps or around other areas, good and comforting atmosphere. [View Full Report]
5 - Excellent	lolcats4 June 26 2008	Somewhat built up and close together as would be expected in Manhattan. The quad area is pretty neat though. Overall the campus was excellent. [View Full Report]

5 - Excellent	sagesser May 12 2008	Amazing campus in the middle of an amazing city. [View Full Report]
5 - Excellent	rubybrett April 22 2008	The "quad" was just like that of a rural New England campus- only in the heart of Manhattan. [View Full Report]
4 - Very Good	wmmk March 30 2008	Great campus, but South Lawn was covered by tarps, as it apparently almost always is. [View Full Report]
4 - Very Good	livingtea August 31 2007	Although the school is in NYC, the campus is full of trees and greenery. The only bad thing was that there was some construction going on near the gates, with bulldozers and fencing :( [View Full Report]
5 - Excellent	arachnophobia12 August 27 2007	Columbia's campus was so beautiful. There were nice, prep-school like buildings, and it's in a nice section of NYC- Washington Heights. [View Full Report]
5 - Excellent	lavieboheme August 21 2007	So pretty. And in the middle of a city too. [View Full Report]
4 - Very Good	karen61990 July 29 2007	It was gorgeous. the grass is always taken care of and the landscape is serene. it was very clean. A lot of construction though. =( would have given a great first impression. (wasn't my 1st visit [View Full Report]

4 - Very Good	fruitloops89 June 14 2007	Appearance from the outside was decent. However, once you step inside, it is absolutely gorgeous. Aside from being a bit small, the environment fosters a great atmosphere for learning. [View Full Report]

4 - Very Good	advantagious February 24 2007	Really liked the campus--and the fact that there IS a campus, with green space too! Most of the buildings were very distinguished looking--very academic. [View Full Report]

5 - Excellent	HSDropOut November 29 2006	OMG, I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the campus, its right in the middle of the big city, but yet once you are on campus its like being on a small private college that is all along. [View Full Report]
5 - Excellent	Chet2006 September 22 2006	Just as you would imagine an Ivy in New York would look like! [View Full Report]
4 - Very Good	brand_182 August 29 2006	Well it is a beautiful campus, but there was a lot of stuff going on that day on the main lawn area. There was a huge white tent and some other stuff in front of the library that really took away from the first time impression. The college is very cool [View Full Report]
5 - Excellent	ubetteraccept_me August 16 2006	The campus was amazing. I loved how it blended with the city beautifully, and yet it was still obvious which buildings were Columbia's. I also liked how all the buildings looked the same (especially the blue roofs haha). [View Full Report]
5 - Excellent	senioritis42 August 13 2006	If you're looking for verdant lawns and expansive, green quads, Columbia is NOT what you're looking for. The campus is gray, and unlike some other urban campuses, the landscape is actually one that fits in a city. There is minimal greenery, bu [View Full Report]
