I warn you before you attend this university to consider many other schools. This schools tuition is steadily increasing. The academics are too easy it is hard to make friends and meet people. Most of the student body commutes this school has no sense of community what so ever. The social life here sucks their are rarely ever parties. Also avoid getting a meal plan if you can it is a waste of money the food is bad. Live off campus if possible on campus housing is expensive and over rated. I suggest looking into tailor loft apartments by UIC. The schools graduation rate is quite low. I myself am transferring and i know many other people doing the same. Save yourself from making the same mistake I did. The only majors that should even consider this school is acting,film and photography. Their campus is spread all over so you don?t get that campus feel. The only thing i really liked is that the class sizes are small. I will leave this college and never look back.
Innovation: A-, Education Quality: F

I am a veteran of the US Army. I was in my first year with a 3.9 GPA when a drunk kid who was smaller than me picked a fight with two of my friends then with me. I shoved him to the ground and walked away. I was then given 48 hours to vacate my dorm and was banned from all dorm buildings. The school ignored the facts and did not seem to care that i had no where to stay so I was forced to drop out and move home. The security guards in my building told me they had people beat other students up and all they had to do was switch rooms or suffer a short suspension. So just because I was bigger than the instigator and was a veteran I was "too dangerous" to keep around. If you are a veteran looking at Columbia College forget about it, it's a waste of time.
