I'm giving Columbia 3 stars mostly because I met a good group of people while attending. For what they charge, to me, Columbia isn't worth their price. All over their site and at events, they tote that all of their professors are currently working in their field. My two film professors hadn't made anything since their college days, and one of them was old enough to be my grandfather. Like a lot of other people have said, the departments have terrible communication skills and don't know what's happening in either department. The living spaces are nice, but are grossly expensive. I left after my first year because of the price, and wasn't sure exactly where I wanted to go. I felt like I learned something about film, more so with the hands on experience. The in class content though, I felt like I learned more at my community college back in my hometown. If you really want to go here, make sure you research. I'd personally advise you to look at a different school.
