<p>I’m currently interested in philosophy, classics and international relations, and I know that academically, Columbia is perfect for these three areas. The one thing that has me hesitating from applying to Columbia is its focus on graduate students rather than its undergrad, and I’m looking for a college that will give me intimate classes and close relationships with my professors. So I was wondering,
- Have most of your classes been lecture based or seminar based? How many of them have been taught by TA’s rather than actual professors?
- How accessible are the professors?
- What proportion of the classes you’ve taken have been around <30 students?</p>
<p>In addition, how is the student atmosphere on campus? I’ve heard rumors that there isn’t much of school spirit and campus activity due to its location in a huge city…is that true?</p>
<p>Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions!</p>
