Columbia University in the City of New York Top Questions

The quality of the education and the location.

its in new york city

It's location and core curriculum

The city.

The topics of my classes and the types of classes available are really interesting. I like to tell them about projects I'm working on. The quirkyness of my firends here always makes for good stories at home.

New York City.

I learn a lot from my fellow students and they are very intelligent.

I often brag about the quality of teachers an their candid stories of personal experiences. It's not often that students have the opportunity to hear, first hand, stories that altered the couse of society from people who were actually there. I also like to emphasize the amazing cultural variety availble in NCY, it is truly a melting pot of personalities, religions, and cultures--a feat hard to come by.

The location and the quality of the professors. On NYC-- you will never, ever be bored. There is always something to do, be it on campus or in the city. The professors are brilliant, but that only means when you have a class taught by a professor. There are plenty taught by grad students, but that is not always a negative. One of the most stimulating classes I took was taught by a political philosophy PhD student.

The people. Between world leaders speaking, nobel lauriats teaching, famous musicians and artists performing.
