After all my classes were registered and readjusted for, I received a total aid package (including a new student grant from Columbia) of $35,550 for the year. I ended up taking out $45k in private loans to cover the rest. I intend to do a paid internship over the summer, so that should ease my debt a tad. I strongly believe Columbia pays for itself, and it’s something I can carry with me for the rest of my life, so yes, gulp, big price tag, but I’m ecstatic to be here.
