Columbia College Chicago Top Questions

I have a learning disabilite and I feel I dont have to hide it when I go too school. The professor shows they care about the student. And when I ask anybody that works there a question they would answer them and with my learning disabilite, I dont understand thing as well and it might take me time or ask a lot of question to start to understand. and they would take there time and explain to me and not get an attitude with me or get frustrated with me. So I really find that unique about my school.

Every teacher is a current working professional in the field they are teaching in.

My school is located in one of the best cities in the world. The other colleges I considered could not give me the excitement that living in a city can give me. More than that it offers me so many opportunities to actually prepare me for what I want to do in the future.

I think that because Columbia college is so big and diverse, it is considered unique. Many schools, that are diverse ,usually break up into groups that only associate with their own ethnicity. But Columbia actually support diversity with the many different organizations that it posesses. Every since i have enrolled into Columbia, i have noticed that every one is supportive and I think that this is one of the many reasons why columbia is unique.

The school is very diverse in a city setting, Chicago. there is plenty of public transportation and activities to do outside of school. The classes are small and the teachers do what they teach.

It is very diverse, culterally and ethnically. It is located in downtown Chicago, amongst a huge theatre community. Most of the faculty is adjunt; they are practicing in the field they are teaching. I love that! I am pushed to artistically express myself in ways that severely benefit me.

Columbia College is unique because of both its location and its culture. Not only is it set in one of the most exciting cities in the world with access to food, shows, festivals, and American life. But, it is also a school geared to creative people who want to live creative lives. Despite its artsy focus, the education is still top level. The school itself is the best of both worlds, and its set in the of ours.

Columbia College Chicago offers a unique community of differing majors and practices that often times allows for collaboration. Many projects throughout Columbia use students from almost all the departments at Columbia , specifically: Film, Acting, Music, Dance, and Animation/Graphic Design. These projects allow students to gain a real sense of the industry, as often times, the massive projects are organized and run as they would at a professional level. More so, the projects are being constructed from a collaborating group of experts, each with his or her own knowledge and artistic value that is brought together to the same goal.

The location of our institution is unique because of the culture of Chicago that you intake. Being born and raised in Chicago its easy for me to appreicate the atmosphere of Columbia College's campus. It doesnt take long for students from all over the country to appreciate the Chicago culture. I believe that students get overwhelmed with the environment of the college's campus because there is so much to take interest too. The location also provide's many career and learning opportunities.

The city, the working teachers and the fact that I could do as much as I wanted. I like to try many different things: photography, theater, writing and Columbia allows me to explore.

Columbia is a thriving community which facilitates success for its students. There is endless support in every aspect a student could desire. The instructors are active in their field and full of excited energy. Students are able to do so much learning outside of the classroom through feild trips, studying abroad, student organizations ect. Integration between majors is encouraged and there is so much activity on campus that is the basis for very importnt networking; connecting the student to significant allies and resources. Its a fulfilling experience that grows to passions rather than having to search for them in isolation.

My school is unique compaired to others i considered in various ways. The most important of which being that my school is the larges arts school in the united states because of the fact that they let so many people in. this is good some times because it gives people a change to experiance art in a large community that can really help you at times.

This school offers my degree, jobs in my field for after graduation as well as a high employment rate, a great selection in internships, and a very good program. It is also close to my house, and has many opportunities for growth in learning and fine-tuning my skills.

Columbia allows artistic students to realize that they're dreams can become a lucritive carreer field. This is a school that really emphasizes creativity and the way the academics are structured it makes it easier for "creative" types to succeed. Also, most if not all of the teachers are professionals in their fields which is something that really helps to inspire students as well as opens up networking connections for them after college.

It's an art school that doesn't abide by the normal college system, it has its own that works best for the students to be themselves and do what they do best.

Other art school I was interested in, did not seem to be as involved with each student. Every professor tries their hardest to get to know and understand every student they have. Everyone wnats the best for everyone else. Students are all involved in each others work and try to help one another by collaborating.

"DIVERSITY" was what I saw at Columbia, and in just about every catagory you can place people in. Race, culture, religion, background, for me personally, it was a breath of fresh air to meet other people and learn more about diferent backgrounds.

I attend an all Arts college which that alone seperates itself from the rest. Our school focuses on grades of course but also as well as networking with others that are in studying the same major you are and also those who are not. This is so you can get a chance to collaberate with others and possibly work on unique projects together. There are no fraternities or sororities and hardly any sports as well. Columbia is uniquely diversed in race/ethnicites, gender, religion and sexual orientation. Everyone gets a chance to learn different things from one another.
