With 95 percent of Columbia electing to undergo the ultimate endurance test that is Columbia University Housing, the remaining five percent are... the few. The proud. The off-campus. Before you hear what they have to say, here are some quick details about off-campus housing.
1) The suite rate ($8,210) equivalent translated in rent is $912 a month per person and the corridor rate ($6,626) equivalent translated in rent is $736 a month per person.
2) Check out this handy Columbia website for people who have listed their places for rent. Last I checked, there were 304 listings.
3) Once you live off-campus, you're no longer guaranteed housing on-campus.
Without further adieu, this is what people currently living off-campus had to say.
