    Beautiful campus in uppertown of Manhattan. Comparing with other school, Columbia University campus is small so you can finish the campus tour in 1-2 hours by foot. Currently under pandemic, you can not go to inside of the library. Also multiple tents are set up for students to use temporarily.

    Studying @ CU was really a wonderful experience and to be in New York is always a special feeling. The campus large and iconic. There are many places to take pictures, and the campus looks really beautiful. The library is quite amazing and you can register for a campus tour if you’d like to be shown around. I was very lucky to be invited back to school, where I met some of my old teachers and classmates. It was an exciting feeling to be back on campus and in class.

    Columbia University is a stunning campus that is steeped in history and tradition. From the moment you step onto its grounds, you are struck by the beauty of the architecture and the natural surroundings. The campus is sprawling, with lush green spaces, modern buildings, and historic landmarks. The faculty are world-renowned experts in their fields, and the curriculum is challenging and thought-provoking. The university also provides an abundance of extracurricular activities and resources, including clubs, sports teams, and research programs. One of my favorite aspects of Columbia is its location in New York City. The university is situated in the heart of Manhattan, surrounded by some of the best restaurants, museums, and cultural attractions in the world. It's the perfect place to experience the vibrancy of city life while also pursuing your academic goals. Overall, I highly recommend Columbia University to anyone who is seeking a top-notch education, a supportive community, and a vibrant city experience.

    Lovely place, came here to relax a bit after a long day, it worked. I just sat on a bench, away from the young lively crowd walking nonstop throughout the campus.

    It's a private Ivy league university in NYC. It's one of the best in the world. However, I think the campus is not too big and not that beautiful. You can access to campus buildings unless you are student or staff.

    Columbia University is absolutely incredible & I will never grow tired of visiting this campus. It’s a gem in the heart of New York City. I’ve had the privilege of being here a few times through the years, and I think I only fall in love with it more each time I get off the subway at 116th Street. If you’re contemplating checking it out, don’t think twice! I have to say, the fall months are particularly lovely (as pictured).

    I am a student at Columbia University, specifically with GSAPP. The main campus is a beautiful campus during the summer. It is constructed so that all the buildings provide a “wall” around the campus so that the interior is quiet and separate from the city. The landscaping is always up kept. You see students gathered in green spaces or along the library stairs each day. There are some current construction projects, but they are minor and don’t take away from the Columbia experience. The interior of campus is safe and always monitored by gatekeepers and campus security. As soon as you step off campus it is no longer securities jurisdiction so there are fairly often robberies around the area. Columbias campus alert system does a good job of keeping students up to date on these events. The surroundings of campus include many restaurants, stores, and grocery stores that are very convenient for students and surrounding people. Overall I have always felt safe in the area and love the beauty of the campus.

    I wish I was studying here, as a visitor I really liked the atmosphere it gives. It feels like it's about knowledge, ambition, science ! Very cool and a beautiful university.

  • 4/5 Ravinder S. 2 years ago on Google
    A historic Ivy League university doesn't need a visitor's review. I just had seen pictures of friends who have studied or visited over the years and so wanted to see it at some point. Finally got a chance to do that while coming back home from NYC and we stopped for 20 minutes or so. I wanted my son to see it and it was a great feeling being there.

    Columbia University is one of the ivy league schools located in the heart center of NYC with historic landmark buildings like Butler Library, Low Memorial Library, Earl Hall, St.Paul Chapel and other interesting sites around the Morningside campus like Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine. It is also one of the oldest universities in US. Enjoy walking in and around the university or relax on the grounds or library stairs.

    The interchurch Center at Columbia University was spectacular. Just the right amount of space for an intimate Latin Jazz Orchestra. The acoustic can certainly be improved, but well worth it. I definitely recommend.

    A premier research institution, Ivy League undergrad school, with many affiliated graduate programs. A particular jewel in the Columbia crown is the School of General Studies, where nontraditional students of all ages and backgrounds can, if they've had a break in their studies, earn a world class undergraduate degree. As far as I know,Columbia leads the Ivy League in this area, and so through that route, 15% of the undergraduate students are military veterans, retired ballerinas, home schooled, rock stars -- anyone outstanding who left the well-trodden path of the meritocracy and went their own way. These folks (and I'm one) bring a thirst and ambition, a creativity and life experience to the Columbia classroom that brings a lovely thrill to every study.

    Columbia University's beautiful campus is in uppertown of Manhattan. There were some nice restaurants nearby and great choices for Japanese and Chinese cuisines. Haven't gone back since the pandemic and fingers crossed they are still open.
