- Good amount of electives and courses offered.
- Very learned and experienced Professors.
- Lot of cultural and social activities to engage students.
Dislikes
- The coursework becomes hectic with 4 subjects per semester.
- The tuition fee and cost of living in New York are a bit more expensive than any other college.
- Very competitive group of students.
- I live on Off-campus housing. I found my housing through an app called StreetEasy.
- My house is fully furnished and has a monthly rent of $1600.
- New York requires guarantor services to secure housing which was tough and costly to get.
- My accommodation is 4 mins walk from the campus building.
- Most students live around the campus area, Morningside Heights only, as it is closer and within walkable distance to campus.

- Courses - suited my expectations
- Research opportunities - easy to interact with professors and research groups
- Student life - plenty of opportunities, New York is a great place
Dislikes
- It is a very flexible program, so it feels like there is a lack of direction at times.
- There were definitely some issues with the variety in courses experienced in the Spring semester.
- There are a few disruptions due to the ongoing situation.
- There are online platforms like Zillow that we used to find suitable units. We had to go through an agent, had to pay a deposit and agency fee and had to have a guarantor. A recommendation would be to join the whatsapp communities as early as possible.
- Most people would be looking for people to room with, and the process would go a lot smoother with other people to help you out.

- Campus, Location, Professors, Connections.
- I love how everyone here is very smart and great to network with.
- The diverse experience I think is the best part.
Dislikes
- The protests that are happening, are a pain.
- I don't like the fees of course its too much and very less scholarship options.
- Better transport service go campus, right now its pretty bad.
- Search online platforms, Street Easy, Zillion, talk to brokers; I would say go for college housing. It sounds expensive at first but with utilities, its the same as leaving campus. Trying to find an apartment without visiting it can be very difficult. Be aware of scammers; search the realtors; try finding one near campus so you can use the campus shuttle to travel.

- Location in NYC and proximity to some of the greatest landmarks and places in the world.
- Professors both tenured and adjunct professors, all of who are distinguished and have excellent track records of academic publication and actual practice.
- Institutional networks with top policy and finance organizations.
Dislikes
- Recent handling of student protests and overall administration response to student issues.
- Extremely expensive due to its location.
- Some of the infrastructure in the School of International Affairs is quite dated compared to the business school
- I found my own private accommodation through streeteasy.com. Monthly rent is 2500 USD not including utilities. Utilities are another 200 dollars including internet and electricity. Hot water is included in the rent.
- Students should go for University student housing as it's much cheaper and comes with furnished. I stayed a 15 minute subway (train) ride away from the Columbia University campus, in a private rented apartment by myself. Most Indian students live in college housing that is located walking distance from campus, with roommates.

- Academic rigor and diversity of courses, like joining clubs and organizations (e.g.,debate team, literary magazines
- I like the fact that there's world-class faculty and research opportunities in my school
- Exploring the nearby American Museum of natural history
Dislikes
- What I disliked is the high tuition fees and living costs in school
- There is limited availability of housing, especially for upperclassmen
- Distance from family and friends (for out of state/international students)
The admission process is based on the application submission first, students submit their application through the common app or coalition app, typically by the January 1st deadline for regular decision. I prepared for the admission, maintaining a high GPA, especially in challenging courses like AP or IB and taking the SAT or ACT. Consultants are Crimson Education.

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.

- MS Data Science program is a well know program by Columbia University with renowned and distinguished Professors.
- The courses, both academic and professional developmental helped me learn more about myself - my strengths and weaknesses and how to build a work oriented lifestyle which would help me in the long-run.
- 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.
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 University is really great. There are tremendous amount of resources available for each student.
- The academic curriculum is really intense but every bit worth the efforts.
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.
