Columbia Univerisity Reviews

The campus-owned university in New York, which has a lot of land, means that there is a lot of money!

I have not study yet at this university, but i still try harder to reach there...and study there too

I didn't get a scholarship to this place in the end, but hey; my friend Burr went here and Burr is a cool guy.
Edit: I changed my mind, Aaron Burr has no opinion on anything and is therefore an idiot.

Fantastic place, worth to stay a little longer and just breathe the air of science and knowledge....

Columbia University, New York is one of the most prestigious Ivy League member universities in the United States and many of its alumni excel at the international level. I wish I could continue my Masters at Columbia University.

amazing place for hangout with friends study good food drinks and best environment

Great core curriculum, offerings and vibe within NYC. This diploma opens doors.

institute of performing art and mind power development admires columbia university. The institute offers online course with certificate in keyboard, harmonica, flute, guitar, melodica, reiki, music therapy, hospital administration, anthropology, french language. ... Wish you All the Best !!!

One of the best universities in New York . The campus is very nice and big and you can get whatever you want around .In the nearby areas you can get restaurants, shops and pharmacies.

The area is very safe , you can walk to three o'clock in the morning without problems.

Neat and compact campus in densely populated Manhattan. Had a nice time walking around, in awe of the beautiful buildings and the school's most influential alumni, including President Obama.

Amazing place, Nice to see Dr.B.R.Ambedkar statue in side the library.

Beautiful campus and the surrounding area has all types of resturants within walking distance the transportation easy access to city bus or trains even bus to airport

As I'm biased I work for Columbia University overall a great academic area with a abundant array of eateries in the area pleasant neighborhood with a variety of ethnicities and cultures.

Columbia Univ. was a really prestigious place where it challenged me academically and at the same time gave me valuable experiences and social network. Not to mention, beautiful campus!

This university campus is very extraordinary and it is open for everybody to walk by outside of the halls.

It was a good experience passing through memory lane

i haven t been to this school in my life but i ve been dreaming to go to this school ever since i was born.

Excellent university sees an illusion. The world famous university funding. Not that I have ever attended .

The campus starts at Broadway 110, but the main entrance from Broadway is at 116. The university is considered a real-life fix in the upper west side. The university provides apartments for its senior faculty from which serious research is required. The university is considered to be one of the leaders in receiving a Nobel fax in the world

Columbia provided me with an excellent foundation and confidence to think outside the box, take on new challenges and embrace learning. The School of Social Work provided me with the knowledge to become an accomplished clinician.

Quiet over the Christmas break but nonetheless a great sight to see. Just being in a university of it's statue was impressive enough but for them to leave building open to the public was a real treat. There wasn't much around in the way of food, or help getting around but the signage is more then enough.

Good place to stop for a few minutes and stroll through its gardens. Even enter your bookstore

This school is asmazing!!!!!! i love the fact that it offers opoortunities in specializing in either dental or medical careers!!!! Must see for those interested in the health professions!

My dream university!!! I am surprised that this place is so huge . The buildings are very artistic and cool . I hope i could be part of the Columbians someday, amen.

A very good university with a strong academic atmosphere.

If Colgate University has some good reviews, this school definitely deserves more.

Columbia University (Columbia; officially Columbia University in the City of New York) is a private Ivy League research university in New York City. Established in 1754 near the Upper West Side region of Manhattan, Columbia is the oldest institution of higher education in New York and the fifth-oldest institution of higher learning in the United States. It is one of nine colonial colleges founded prior to the Declaration of Independence, seven of which belong to the Ivy League. It has been ranked by numerous major education publications as among the top ten universities in the world.

Columbia was established as King's College by royal charter of George II of Great Britain in reaction to the founding of Princeton University in New Jersey. It was renamed Columbia College in 1784 following the Revolutionary War and in 1787 was placed under a private board of trustees headed by former students Alexander Hamilton and John Jay. In 1896, the campus was moved from Madison Avenue to its current location in Morningside Heights and renamed Columbia University.

Columbia scientists and scholars have played an important role in the development of notable scientific fields and breakthroughs including: brain-computer interface; the laser and maser; nuclear magnetic resonance; the first nuclear pile; the first nuclear fission reaction in the Americas; Thomas Hunt Morgan's drosophila experiment considered the origin of modern genetics; the first evidence for plate tectonics and continental drift;and much of the initial research and planning of the Manhattan Project during World War II. The Columbia University Physics Department has been affiliated with 33 Nobel Prize winners as alumni, faculty or research staff, the third most of any American institution behind MIT and Harvard. In addition, 22 Nobel Prize winners in Physiology or Medicine have been affiliated with Columbia, the third most of any American institution.

The university's research efforts include the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Goddard Institute for Space Studies and accelerator laboratories with major technology firms such as IBM.[28] Columbia is one of the fourteen founding members of the Association of American Universities and was the first school in the United States to grant the M.D. degree.[14][29] The university administers the Pulitzer Prize annually.[30] Columbia is organized into twenty schools, including three undergraduate schools and numerous graduate schools. It maintains research centers outside of the United States known as Columbia Global Centers.

In 2019, Columbia's undergraduate acceptance rate was 5.1%, making it one of the most selective colleges in the United States, and the second most selective in the Ivy League after Harvard. Columbia is ranked as the 3rd best university in the United States by U.S. News & World Report behind Princeton and Harvard In athletics, the Lions field varsity teams in 29 sports as a member of the NCAA Division I Ivy League conference. The university's endowment stood at $10.9 billion in 2018, among the largest of any academic institution.

As of 2018, Columbia's alumni and affiliates include: five Founding Fathers of the United States among them an author of the United States Constitution and a co-author of the Declaration of Independence; three U.S. presidents; 29 foreign heads of state; ten Justices of the United States Supreme Court, two of whom currently serve; 96 Nobel laureates; 101 National Academy members;[35] 38 living billionaires; eleven Olympic medalists; 39 Academy Award winners; and 125 Pulitzer Prize recipients.

Columbia University is a magical magical place! It is a great place to learn and a beautiful campus. If you are ever in the upper west side it is a great place to see. Low Library is at it's center and draws a lot of attention and a lot of the students to it's steps during the summers, hence why it is sometimes nicknamed "the beach". In terms of the school, there are a ton of wonderful professors and if you want a really well rounded education and don't mind taking a lot of time learning all kinds of things then Columbia College is the place for you with it's world famous core curriculum.

An Ivy League school in arguably the best city in the world. If you're lucky enough to get accepted, you should go here. The campus is in the upper west side of Manhattan and looks pretty all year round.

Beautiful buildings, fun outing in Manhattan. We went there by metro and walked around.

Today December 13 , The University of Michigan said Monday it will not renew its agreement with the Confucius Institute ( Chinese Communist ) when the partnership expires in 2019. What about Columbia University ?

The campus is small relative to the other's I've seen on the West Coast, but it's still a beautiful little place. It's got a posh intellectual vibe, which makes sense considering the wealthy students who attend. It's up pretty far north (generally crime gets worse above 101 in Manhattan) so don't go wandering up past campus grounds.

Columbia University is an oasis in the middle of upper-city Harlem. In fact, you hardly even feel like you re in New York City while walking around on-campus. The buildings composing this long-standing outstanding institution are as historic as they re aesthetic. The staff educating and researching here are the cream of the crop, enabling a competitive and ambitious academic atmosphere to take on contemporary forms of learning.

Great campus, great people and obviously great education.

Impressive place to visit and to be graduated after studies.

Primary school can be quickly visited or can apply for a tour

Absolutely beautiful campus that'll make you forget you're in the middle of NYC! The info session and campus tour were both really informative, enjoyable, and curated. The buildings all flow together and the old architecture is fascinating to behold.

I like this university cause my love Kim Jaeseop studies there

Hopefully i can study at COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY amen DO'A KAN me yes

One of the best University in the world. The campus is wonderful and located in a beautiful part of New York. Highly renowned in economy, banking, etc. It is now possible to enjoy online courses throughout Coursera website. It will give you the opportunity to enhance your skills, knowledge and earn a Certificate as well.

A campus full of life, history and New York City vibrancy. Check out the various libraries, the science building and the performing arts building! Poetry readings happen at the basement of the chapel. And if you can find an entrance to the underground tunnels...

The greatest university in the world, located in the greatest city in the world.

I visited the place to see the famous Columbia University which is among the best. Walking the streets you can't see it well. When you enter the place is impressive. Both the library with the statue outside and the building you see 6 of the 8 Greek names: Homer Herodotus Sophocles Platon Aristotle Demosthenes Cicerone Vergi. Needless to say there is no rubbish, slogans on the walls. Everyone is busy getting better and more useful.

Had the opportunity to visit with my daughter last week. I have lived in NYC years ago and had false expectations of being overwhelmed by a university in the big apple. I was so wrong. Columbia University feels as if it's in it's own beautiful bubble in a quieter neighborhood all it's own with a great richness and diversity in it's student body and seemingly very happy, proud, comfortable students all around. Beautiful buildings, out of a movie, with a sincere feeling of really genuine people moving about campus.

Beautiful, everything concentrated in on single place, knowledge certanly is the another brick on the wall !

Like no other.
Best Ivy League school especially if you would rather be in Manhattan than stuck in suburban Boston, which you most definitely would.

We went for a campus tour and I loved the campus. Although it was cold and snowing, the snow on the trees was lovely and the buildings looked so majestic. I liked that the campus was like its own world...when you enter the gates it's almost like you're not in New York anymore. The tour was organized into small groups depending on what major you were interested in. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable and the presentation was very informative.

Beautiful and historical campus. In summer, the atmosphere is very good but most cafeterias are closed. So, people are forced to find food from outside.

mujhe slachchhca laga Kyoki yaha sab ek hai ekta.
or samanta hai

A great university with academic research, network, and future opportunities!

Very big university in Manhattan alone. Very clean and lots of events keep students occupied.

Really wonderful university awesome historical architecture buildings columbia university. I am very impressed with facility.

For its academic quality, its pluralism and for the place in which it is located.

Miss it. Been so long since i've studied here. Filled with so much history and beautiful as well.

Beautiful campus! Even if not studying its a nice walk.

This is a good school. The best in the world. Very prestigious.

Great terrain, impressive buildings. Worth to visit.

Like the city it's in, Columbia is disgustingly expensive and awfully stressful, but otherwise a good time.

No words can describe the despicable attitudes and egos afluster.

My Dad was a Columbia alum. I love Columbia's campus, and it's beautiful, but I was more a fan of Yale overall (which I applied to both as an undergrad and got waitlisted and deferred and then again for grad school when I got in) although New Haven as a city is kind of blah. Although, Columbia's location affords students all of NYC's resources, it somewhat whittles down what Columbia has in terms of a "real campus' though like all the Ivy League institutions, Columbia owns a significant amount of land and property in Morningside Heights. Columbia does have an impressive campus for being one of the two Ivy League universities located in New York (Cornell of course being the other, which has a spectacular campus up in Ithaca) but Columbia's campus, while compared to other Manhattan campuses like Hunter, NYU or The New School is an actual campus with a sense of spatial design and beautiful beaux arts architecture.

College Walk, Butler and the Low Memorial Libraries are all particularly beautiful. I went to college in Amherst, Massachusetts for my undergraduate degree, and then to The New School for my MFA. I was not "Ivy league" per se, though I did get into the Yale School of Drama as a grad student (got better fellowships/assistantships elsewhere though). The Ivy Leagues were definitely NOT for me, as I was more a fan of "alternative" forms of higher education and the Ivy League schools to me were more conservative and traditional. Yale and Brown as the more "artsy" Ivies tend to buck that trend a bit.

Sometimes I do wish I'd gone to Yale for graduate school, but the major issue was that they weren't that financially generous. I think it was also because since my Father was an alum of Columbia (not Yale), while I was the the son of an Ivy League graduate, I myself wasn't one (they pay attention to factors like that). Plus, what family connections at each individual Ivy League institution you have (legacy applicants get preference in the admissions process). Therefore, I got into Yale Drama, BUT, was vastly underfunded comparative to the fact that, well it's YALE -- it's not like they couldn't afford to give me more money. Maybe if my Mother had been a Yale Alumna (rather than University of Chicago) things would have been different. However, that made me VERY attractive to all the other non-Ivy League grad schools that accepted me like The New School, NYU, Pratt, University of The Arts. etc....BECAUSE they were all competing with Yale for me as a grad student. So, it ended up being a great bargaining chip.

Hi my name is oviona peoples i'm in the 9th grade,i'm 14 and i'm looking for a great way to get an educaion and i really think this is for me when i graduate in 2019

Fire Elizabeth Lederer. She played a big role in wrongfully convicting the kids in the Central Park Five case. She should not be teaching law. #WhenTheySeeUs
