Columbia University in the City of New York

Beware of student athletes at Columbia university… the illusion of an Ivy League setting being a place of morality and character is questionable. I found a good number of them to be arrogant, self absorbed, rude and obnoxious. I was sexually assaulted by one of the athletes at Columbia University and verbally and physically harassed by a few more. I believe the stories other women have been reporting of rape on this campus. An ex friend of mine, also a student athlete, accused me of being a slut (after I confided in her about the incident) because her friend had a thing for the guy who assaulted me. Columbia is a bubble where they groom students into believing they are special, better than the rest and therefore not responsible for their actions. The perceived prestige that comes with the Columbia name only further disillusions students who believe the hype. Life is more than college, and a name of a university does not prove your worth. Columbia will forever remain a haunting place in my memory.
