<p>The Columbia University Campus in Manhattan, is beautiful, compact, very accessible and safe. The dorms are decent and there is plenty of scope for making lots of friends. Excellent lounges for practicing plays, music, debates and discussions. Lots of options for food, all accessible - within walking distance. All Department buildings are within half a kilometer. Makes it very easy during winters. Students have plenty of activities, and NewYork is literally their backyard. How they leverage their locational advantage is up to them. The students are bubbling with enthusiasm and are very happy. Definitely a great place to study and enjoy Campus life. Good sports facilities and even in peak Winter you can play Basketball, go to the Gym and even do swimming.</p>
