There really isn't a strong community of students at Columbia. Departments are just too big for students to know people outside of their classes. Additionally, the lack of a central campus and limited student housing adds to the disjointed feeling of the school.

The only I problem I had with that school was during the winter. Its locaion was in downtown Chicago, right off of lake Michigan. When winter came that part of town received the brunt of the chilled winds coming off of the lake.

The worst thing about my school is that it can be a great challenge to have Christian morals and beliefs that are not challenged on a daily basis. Although there are many people who share my beliefs at my school, and many who don't and are accepting of those beliefs, I find that with such a liberal community (which I truly adore for the most part), many people are uneducated and callous towards my beliefs. Without trying, or even meaning to, other students have been very offensive. I believe that this school is quite tolerant, but sometimes difficult.

The fact that there aren't any greeks at my school I would say is the worst thing because I myself would like to participate in a sorority but I figure that my education is more important right now so it can wait until after I graduate.

The worst thing about my school is the lack of athletics and extra-curricular activities. My school definitely allows for a unique environment, and it used to boast that it had no sports teams and homecoming games. The school brings a sense of orginality for students who are looking for a different school setting, but I feel that people who attend Columbia College and want athletics get left behind. To me it seems as though something is missing. While there is more focus on the individual, which does have its benefits, I feel there is less school pride.

The weather. It's Chicago. It's either too hot or too cold to go outside.

The fact that no matter how many classes you take or what classes you take, every teacher acts as though there the only class you have. There is usually little time to get all the homework done as well as collaborate which is what this school is about. The teachers at this school make it even harder when they decide that you need to work in small groups and everyone in your team lives in completely different places.

the administration, they are very unorganized, and rude.

It is so expensive, and only the black inner city kids get any real financial aid/scholarships from the school.
