Word of advice:

Core classes WILL consume more time than courses for your major. Some weeks, you may feel like you are majoring in Lit Hum. The task of rewriting parts of a University Writing paper can last an ENTIRE day of your weekend.

My advisor told me to avoid Calc III this semester, because I was told most of my course load was too much analytically… instead, I was informed to take Music Hum… this course turned out to be my hardest class compared to everything so far…

At Columbia, DO NOT assume the Core classes are similar to General Education requirements at other institutions… The Core is the hallmark of Columbia and it is probably the most rigorous in terms of writing and reading. Some courses you couldnt read all the reading assignments even if you wanted to .
