The girl was a self-proclaimed obsessor of Columbia and grew up in the city, so she knew various fun-facts about the school and such... good tour, saw all exterior stuff, but no classrooms, sadly =| [View Full Report]

The tour guide could tell us some stuff, but not all. Thank goodness for Columbia publications. [View Full Report]

dissapointing. it was super crowded so we didnt get to go into any buildings, and there were only about 4 stops. i tried to go see the library/dining hall, but you cant get in anywhere without an ID [View Full Report]

It was raining during my tour, so we didn't spend a lot of time outside. I got the impression that Columbia is its own "bubble" inside of Manhattan. It felt somewhat cramped. [View Full Report]

The tour guide was so nice it was almost annoying, but she was informative and tried to give personal examples. [View Full Report]

Student was very well informed. Tour was very well lead. One thing in particular called my attention: the student was proud and excited of showing her institution to the tour group. [View Full Report]

It was not an official tour - it was by a student, but he did a pretty good job of covering everything. [View Full Report]

Perfect. We passed by the quad, where a lit-hum class was engaged in philosophical discussion; the library, where one student had fallen asleep on top of his textbook; and the beautiful dining hall. [View Full Report]

The tour was very thorough and helpful. The guide was fun and full of trivia about Columbia grounds, which was nice. Only neg. factor was that we didn't get to go inside many of the buildings. [View Full Report]

We took a tour of the entire campus and spent some time in many of the buildings. Our tour guide was really helpful in explaining the importance/function of each building and student life on campus. [View Full Report]

Very nice tour. We went into a room in Carmen which was huge compared to most places. We also went into the really nice gym. Only bad part was a lot of construction. Gorgeous green campus though [View Full Report]

Tha campus was beautiful and the tour guide was very cute and friendly and really knew her stuff. We didn't see dorm rooms, which may have been helpful, but it was interesting. [View Full Report]

It rained on both of my tours, and it was cold, but you know immediately whether or not it's for you. There's a very intense, very intellectual feel to the campus. [View Full Report]

The campus is very beautiful. Although it's small, the overall feel is comfortable. The grass was exceptionally green for some reason. [View Full Report]

It was raining, but our campus tour guide was still up beat. The buildings are really pretty, and the campus is secluded from NY so you can focus on schooling, and not be distracted. [View Full Report]

Good tour guides who bring the true Columbia experience to life. Tour groups were kind of big though. [View Full Report]

Our tour guide was HOTTTTT but she was a little nuts. I really wish I hadn't waited for the tour...basically, the guide will lead you into the first room of a building or stand in front of one and talk a/b stuff that you will likely already know. I [View Full Report]

The tour guide was a sophomore majoring in East Asian Studies. She was friendly and incredibly informative. She was willing to talk about dormitories, where freshman actually live versus the rooms they show you, academic offerings, internships, and soci [View Full Report]

Again, I've been on two. One guide was very good, the other not so good- more details in the "about your visit" section. [View Full Report]

Columbia's campus is awesome. It's write in NYC, and all the buildings are gorgeous. Bad part was they didn't bring us inside any of the buildings [View Full Report]
