Quite Bright
Yes.. I was in it for the name. I attended Columbia for its grandeur. And that has been the piano on my back since freshman year. I absolutely hate Columbia with a scorching passion. I really thought that the name and prestige would override the horrific experience at Columbia. I really tried to make it the best experience possible. I tried to be appreciative of the opportunity I was given to attend one of the "best" institutions. But my attempt was a fabrication of the crap institution that CU really is. My advice: if you are a native New Yorker, you might survive the thugs and the administration. If you are from a more rural area, look elsewhere: after the first week I guarantee you will wanna go back to daddy's farm milking cows. Thank heavens I am transferring to another college this coming fall.

Not so bright
Columbia was absolutely the worst possible experience I could have ever imagined. My program was disappointing, the students are snobs, and the administration is in one word, evil. As far as our Mickey Mouse security, there was a murder, two rapes, and countless thefts int he 2007-2008 school year. Academically, the core classes range from average to a complete waste of time. Columbia, like all of NYC, is over priced and over rated. I would have been much happier at another school, and so would most of the people I know who graduated with me this past year.
