So, most of you have heard back from all of your colleges by now.
You guys have been accepted into many great schools (including Columbia) and now comes the hard part (except for you EDers): choosing where you want to spend the next four years of your life.
For some of you this decision was a no-brainer---you got into your dream school and the deposit's in the mail.
Others of you are meticulously weighing the pros and cons of each college, and I’m sure that Columbia’s reputation as one of the most stressful colleges is weighing heavily on the con scale. So, in response to that, here are some reasons why you should come to Columbia:
- Yeah, the academics might be a bit tough, but you will learn so much and start thinking about and learning about things that you never even considered thinking about.
- New York City, one of the best cities in the world, will be your new playground.
- Plus, our little Morningside Heights neighborhood isn’t the busy, hectic place you imagine when your picture New York. You can head downtown and experience everything the city has to offer, then head back uptown to your (relatively) quiet home.
- The people here are awesome. I have never seen such driven, hard-working, inspirational people that can still manage to be laid back and a bit goofy. Conversations can easily switch from discussing huge philosophical/moral ideas to arguing which is the best Pokémon, without a hitch.
- Overall, we’re an attractive bunch.
