While the professors and classes at Columbia are both outstanding, the bureaucracy makes it almost impossible to enjoy studying here. The financial aid office is unhelpful and dismissive, and trying to get any help with advising or funding is virtually impossible. Master's students are treated horrible, shunted off to figure things out themselves with little or no guidance, despite spending over $30,000 a year on tuition only, not to mention cost of living in NYC. If I did not want the name of Columbia on my Master's Degree so much, I would have transferred after my first semester.
