I’ve been doing extensive online and literary research (especially “Untangling the Ivy League” by College *******), trying to find out about life at Columbia. I’ve learned a lot about the dormitories, facilities, and campus, however all it really amounts to is an aggregate of factoids (such as Columbia’s campus being one, if not the, wettest one of the Ivies), and I am still lacking a solid overview of life at Columbia. For example, what’s a typical weekend night at Columbia like (in particular for Freshman)? Would one generally have his head in a book at Butler every night, go to a bar (meaning fake ID’s are readily available), an Animal House party (at a Frat house, suite dorm, etc.), hang out at a friend’s dorm? Maybe people actually participate in the college’s extracurricular activities? Any insight/experience is appreciated.
