“I love Columbia’s NYC‑campus combination, how the Core makes classes feel like real conversations, and how easy it is to jump from campus into internships and city events, but from a past‑student view I’ll say the intensity of the workload, the social‑life‑around‑stress dynamic, and the high cost were all heavier reality checks than the glossy tour ever suggested.”
