Columbia, I love you

The Varsity Show last semester was great. And that was really the first time I encountered the stereotype. But it’s cropped up elsewhere as well. There were reviews of Columbia (by Columbia students) on some website or other, and the whole “Morningside Hates” thing cropped up in several of the reviews. Besides, other schools have heavy workloads (well, I guess it depends on what classes you take) and annoying bureaucratic red tape as well.

But I really don’t want to derail the thread (and scare away potential applicants, of course), so I’ll go back to declaring my love. I’ve had an amazing experience with the Core so far, and I love the conversations I have with my friends. I love it when it’s warm out, and everyone’s sitting on the steps. Also, as exciting and vibrant the area around NYU is, I’m so glad Columbia is in Morningside Heights. It does feel very homey.
