there’s a gorgeous park two blocks away (riverside) and unless open-air drug markets are your thing, washington square doesn’t come close.



Columbia’s also right next door to one of the most dangerous and drug-infested parks in the city (Morningside park). You can essentially see the syringes out the window of East Campus. Wash Sq Park is safe to walk through at night, and Riverside Park is not.



there are bars and some decent restaurants,



Morningside has no good restaurants. The Village has some of the top restaurants in the city and some of the best cheap eats in the city.



don’t hate on morningside heights… it’s still manhattan, and i’m not sure neighborhood is a valid reason to choose one school over another. city, yes. neighborhoods that are 20 minutes apart? no. there needs to be other reasons.



Agreed. MH isn’t bad. Lets just take it for what it is.
