When I was a freshman I saw alot of people like me, which, was really comforting because I was an outcast in school. When I saw people with my interests I fell in love with the school.

Columbia College Chicago promotes networking with my peers and encourages each student to give more than what is required in the class. Once the semester gets under way, a film student can find a number of opportunities through student film projects to get involved in. I have learned the same amout of information in the class as I have outside, working on film sets. This is my favorite aspect of Columbia College Chicago.

I would say the best thing about my school, Columbia College Chicago, is how encouraging the school is towards their students and their fields of study. For example, I'm a fashion student and, after being here only a few months, I have already experinced a very welcoming and warm enviroment from not just my fashion teachers, but all of my teachers. The school regualry holds open-mics and art nights to give students a chance to showcase their work.

They have an excellent staff that work with you to help you on projects and who have actually worked in the field your wanting to pursue. They really know what they are talking about. The school also provides amazing internship opportunities that help you become successful.

I think the best thing about my school is the different locations it has. By having all these mulitple locations spread out thorught the area, it allows you to explore the city around you and really get to know where you are.

The best thing about my school is the location. It's in the Chicago Loop area where there's lots of events, restaurants, and culture.

I really cannot think of something to list as the best thing. My professors are amazing, staff members are great, students are nice and I honestly have no complaints.

The unique thing about the campus is that is in the heart of downtown, the best place to network your way into a great career!

The best aspect of Columbia College is that it does a wonderful job of preparing students for the realities of the careers they choose. Professors expect students to be proactive in class because artists must be proactive in the workforce. The professors are active in the fields that they teach. Columbia also provides the Portfolio Center; by the end of senior year, each student has a professional portfolio ready to hand over to potential employers. This sets Columbia graduates apart from the pack, as it should be.

I believe that the best part of my school is the amount of people you can meet in networking and the amount of people that are here that are just as passionate about music just like me. At home there are only a few people that actually play an instrument or have a passion for music, so being here has been an amazing oppurtunity to people who are into the same things as me.
