What students say about Columbia University
Likes
- For somebody who hasnt had industry experience, this can become challenging, but it will help students once they step out of the university.
- Research opportunities are also pretty good; everyone can apply to do research and file publications.
- There are many clubs (both tech and non-tech) that have access to very good resources.
- The location is absolutely amazing, and this rent is one of the more affordable ones youll find in this area.
- The cost is pretty high, on par with the cost of a masters course for an international student at Columbia University.
- I think the faculty is all incredibly knowledgeable in their subjects, and many of them are active researchers or have extensive experience in the industry, which I really like because they share that experience as part of the class.
- The quality of faculty at Columbia is on par with that of other top institutes, ensuring that you are learning from the best.

I didn’t get on campus accommodation but that’s pretty good otherwise looking for houses is difficult. Average rent is $1400 per person.

- I accepted it for the reputation, career opportunities, location and courses.,
- It has a great reputation and is located in New York City, with close access to large corporations and an extensive network. The courses offered at the Business School is really informative and interactive. The people are really helpful.
- Dislikes:
- Columbia is smaller than the other ivy league institutions in the US. The classes at the engineering school are heavily quantitative, and I found it less useful compared to the more business school classes, due to my focus on pursuing a consulting career.
Overall, Columbia University was a fantastic experience. Its located in a vibrant city, with opportunities to stick to a campus life, and still enjoy everything NYC has to offer. The students are helpful and collaborative. The professors are incredibly well experienced with several accolades. All in all, had a great learning experience.

- The college campus is ecstatic, and the libraries provide a beneficial space to study with a clear mind and focus. I like the way events are organized and students are encouraged to pursue their goals.,
- In a gist, supportive mentors and batch mates have helped me realize the value of networking and making connections.
- Dislikes:
- I do not like the location of the university as it in not in the middle of a happening area. Although it stretches various streets in New York City, it is not an eventful place. This is the only aspect which I do not like.
- Likes:
- This is an Ivy League University. its one of the best and most elite universities in the world offering first class facilities and academic education to students.,

- The location of Columbia University right in the heart of NYC poses an added advantage.,
- You have so many experiences and opportunities to explore new things while studying from the top Ivy League University in the world.
- Dislikes:
- Nothing. So far I haven't encountered anything that I would say I dislike about this university. Maybe for students who are vegetarians, its a bit challenging due to lack of veg options available for eating. But with time one becomes used to it.
My experience at Columbia university has been exceptional so far. Its truly one of the best Ivy League universities in the world. Everything from academics, to faculty to extra curricular activities has been top - notch and worth every penny.
I chose it for multiple reasons. The top being: Prestige, Course value, professors, location
The flexible curriculum is a key factor, it allows student to pursue courses from both Engineering and Business schools. The Ivy League tag and the location of the University were also key factors for me.
I chose Columbia University because of its brand and location, access to immense opportunities in NYC, and the opportunity to build a good professional network.
I had two PhD offers and I chose this one mainly because my previous advisors recommended it. It is a presitigious university in an exciting and happening city and an experienced advisor who is a "good human being". All of these points, except university prestige, I still think are important parameters to make the choice. I would also look at the department structure and work culture - both of which are often better at public universities.
It was the most prestigious school I was accepted into, and I really wanted to go to a smaller school in an urban setting. I looked into specific programs I was interested in and found one that fit my needs pretty closely, and I particularly liked the integrated bachelors and masters program offered.
