<p>With the anonymity of an online forum, I’d express my feelings about Columbia openly. However, in person, especially to acquaintances or strangers, I’d be much more hesitant about openly complaining about the university. When was the last time that someone who you saw occasionally confided in you that they hated their time here or went on a rant about this place? Perhaps, they said 1 or 2 snide comments about the administration ****ing them for an event they were hosting, but nothing to the magnitude necessary to discern true dislike for this place.</p>
