I’m in grad school and I realize that my friends who went to schools like Georgetown, Duke, even Cornell, have a level of passion and love for their schools (see any sporting event) that you’ll never find at Columbia



Nah, people found me at Columbia (and I found others). I really had a lot of school spirit, would defend and cheer our teams while they were hammered at basketball and football. I wouldn’t call my love for Columbia delusional or unconditional, but I had a lot of school pride and school spirit, got people to sing the fight song often etc. Even now I’m proud of what I got out of my 4 years, and what Columbia did for me. These people exist at Columbia, you just find them in greater proportion and more open about it at large sport schools.
