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.

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

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.

Great! Friendly tour guide, only spoke when we were stopped at important, so I could discuss my observations with my dad while we walked. Very informative, but we didn't go inside dorms/classroom

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.

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.

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

Both the standard tour and the engineering tour--both student guides were excellent.

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.

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.

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

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.

It was pretty cold when i went, but we got to go to most of the buildings and learned a lot of what the campus life is like, how large it actually was, etc.

The tour was horrible, well not really it was that it was the first snow of the year and it was freezing outside and the tour lasted for about a hour.

Good tour guides who bring the true Columbia experience to life. Tour groups were kind of big though.

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

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

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

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
