Columbia College Chicago Top Questions

1. Trying to pay for it 2. Not being able to take every awesome class because there are just too many.

The fact that they're too many close minded people in my major. My major isn't open to new ideas that are suggested. Passion is extremely lacking within program. There is no heart within the program and thats what music is all about, the heartc. All they want is to be rich.

The most frustrating obstacle for me in school would be time-management. As much as I plan for school assignments and projects, there still seems to never be enough time.

The most frustrating thing about the school are the impromptu ciricullum changes. Sometimes they're not bad but they tend to be bothersome. For instance, I came in when the foundations programs was being changed so unfortunately I had to experience a very rough cirriculum and structure. I will say however that once it's refined, the changes do prosper, it's just when they decide to just change things out of the blue.

The most frustrating thins about my school is the financial aid department. With the amount of aid I am recieving, sometimes things get confusing. And while their online chat is very helpful, every in person meeting I have had with the financial aid department, the advisor has been fairly standoffish/ blunt.

Price

I havent enrolled yet, so I dont't know much about it yet.

There doesn't seem to be any help to gain scholarships or grants outside of what the college has to offer. They don't seem to take into account that the cost of college is more than the tuition. That most of the money they help students get would go back into their pockets. But, they only care about covering the cost of tuition only.

The tuition is very expensive for my parents and I to cover, but as a theatre student, I know that I have to go to great school to meet as many opportunities as I can!

The most frustrating thing, no doubt, is the cost to be here. I understand that art schools are generally pricey and especially because it's a private college. Even though it's my school of choice, I'm afraid of having to drop out due to all of the expenses.

The most frustating thing about my school is the fact that the major offices close early, thus I am unable to see the assistance I need at a time that is convenient for me.

So far I don't have anything bad to say about it.

It has none that I know of

The most frustrating thing about my school is that there are no sports available. I know it is an art school, but I feel like sometimes everyone needs a break to just run around and have a friendly game with their friends to not only be healthy, but also clear your mind. I feel it would readuce a lot of stress too, especially on finals week!

The most frustrating thing about my school the cost. Yes I get that college is not free , but its real unfortunate when students have to leave a school that they love because they can't afford to stay here.

Many academic courses are somewhat lacking. Subjects such as math, science, history and foreign language are not a big priority for the school, so if you are adept at a certain subject you're very likely to feel bored in these types of classes.

The most frustrating part about Columbia is the variety of options you have. This school is so colorful is so difficult to decide what you want to do. You can take basically anything you want and it makes it very complex to decide what you want to do with your life in the future because in reality theyre are more options in college than there is in the bussiness world.

The only thing with which I have difficulty coping is that the basic classes, such as science, math, and English, are very easy at Columbia, while the more difficult classes are primarily only those directly related to your particular major.

I would say the most frustrating thing about my school is the small size and lack of sports.

I do not think that anythig is frustrating about my school except on how expensive it is to come here and live down here. I really hope to get this scholarship so I can stay in this school. This school is where I belong and I couldn't be happier anywhere else to go to school at.
