I'd highly recommend the academics at Columbia to everyone. However, the rest of the university experience can be somewhat lacking. While having a unified campus is nice (though be advised, upcoming expansion may change this), there's not a real sense of community since the city is so enticing. The student body is also too largely composed of students who went to elite prep schools - very clique-y as a result.
