Is Columbia right for me?

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I just wanted to clarify a few things that possibly didn’t come across as clearly as they could have in my original post.

I wouldn’t say I’m “fixating” on Duke athletics, just using them as an example of the school spirit. I am not drawn in by the quality of team, but the quality of the fans. If Duke had the same exact spirit without the top-ranked team, I would still feel the same way. It’s not the athletics - it’s the fact that it really seems like everyone that goes to Duke loves and supports Duke. It seems like a very cohesive community. Again, this is simply based off of my perception - I have not been to either school before.

@giwook Partying is definitely not a determining factor in choosing which school to go to. I am just significantly concerned about Columbia’s school spirit. That being said, I understand that Columbia has an advantage based on its location right in NYC.
