Columbia College Chicago Top Questions

#1: Politics, last Spring began #SaveColumbia, part-time faculty were being laid off and many students felt their voices weren't being heard. #2: Cost. There is no tuition cap which means that every year tuition goes up and going in, you don't know what you'll have to pay the next year, let alone senior year. The scholarships are also limited.

I think most students would agree, but the cost is probably the worst thing. It's an amazing school, but an education should not make a student in debt for years and years to come.

Cost, its expenisve

The worst thing about my school are the three hour classes. Three hours is a long period of time, and for the most part information either becomes confusing, or the student begins to tire, so much to that he or she cannot pay attention.

I think Columbia College is a good school. If anything, I wish that their non-art courses were more challenging. Just because you're going to an art school doesn't mean students don't have the capability to be strong science and math students.

The worst thing about Columbia is the one thing no one can control, the weather. In the winter because we are right off the lake it gets very cold and windy, but after living through it for two years I can honestly say its manageable.

I think that the worst thing about Columbia College Chicago is that some of the classes are kind of out there and not really easy for people that are not in the major (but are still required to take the class) to perform some of the tasks involved. I also think that some of these classes I could teach better than my teachers and that I have not gained a lot from some of my classes which disappoints me somewhat.

The worst thing about my school is that it is so expensive to attend as a student, and that the information that is needed regarding finances is hard to understand and to attain.

The worst thing about Columbia College Chicago, is you can't do *everything* at once! There are so many fun events and happenings, it's stinks that you can't be everywhere at once, and then you still have to find time to go to class!

The worst thing about my school would have to be the on campus living rules. We are only allowed to check in 2-4 people into our dorms, i understand the safety precautions and the need to do this especially in the city...but for collaborating on group projects it doesn't work. There is often too many people in a group to invite up to work on a project, this is espeically difficult in the film program if someone is shooting a scene in a dorm room and needs the crew there.
