Different question: if my family earns under 60k, does Columbia provide for everything? I saw it on the page and they say “parents are not expected to contribute to the cost of attendance.” Can anyone shed light on this?

What that probably means is that the net price consists only of student loans and/or student work earnings expectations (including work-study, if any). But check on the 3+2 financial aid situation.
