Thank you all for your feedback. This school is not meeting any of my expectations and has been a tremendous letdown. I lost motivation because of my negativity towards this school, not the other way around. The culture here is despicable, and a significant chunk of students put on a ridiculous show of appearing as liberal as possible to fit NYC (maybe they were already that way). I almost have to visit Princeton at least once a month to recalibrate myself in an environment of true scholarship, intelligence, and good taste. This whole “embrace people of different backgrounds!!” mantra spread nonstop by Columbia is not cutting it.
