What a difference between NY and Columbia. NY is great but you rarely get to use it. When you do, it is SO EXPENSIVE. The university has a lot of smart kids who compete for everything. Few students help each other for fear others doing better. But hey…this is NY…you are on your own. Columbia is just a huge disappointment. The area around the school is really bad. I am a big guy but do not feel safe at night unless I am in the center of campus. Social life is miserable, teachers are arrogant and don't care about teaching undergraduates. The administration is filled with red tape and students rarely come together as a school. Other than NY, the social life is really bad. I really wish I had gone to (any) other top university. I can see how Columbia could be better as a graduate school where you are less reliant on making friends and being part of a social community.
