Columbia University (2024-2025)

[dapper fjord]

I ended up wearing another shirt to college day

[misty gulch]

😭

which shirt

[dapper fjord]

Political sci/english

[dapper fjord]

Wait I lowkey can’t find it online

It’s dark blue light blue writing

That one

Kinda ugly 💔

Have not worn it since

[misty gulch]

some of the columbia merch on hype and vice is like disgustingly ugly

like im actually appalled

[dapper fjord]

😭 😭 😭

[rugged hound]

There r some rlly cute crop tops they sell

[dapper fjord]

Making my own tote bag because I’d rather spend 20 hours than $25

[rugged hound]

I saw a Columbia girl wear this one with the Columbia crown in the middle it i can’t find it anywhere

[rugged hound]

OOOOOOO SO PRETTY

[dapper fjord]

Oh wait I saw that

[misty gulch]

wtf this is so cute

[dapper fjord]

Well in someone’s post

[misty gulch]

i wanna do this w a sweatshirt

[dapper fjord]

I support this

I also stole my sister’s lion

[misty gulch]

wtf

[blissful walrus]

is that our motto? I had no idea lmao

is it in light we will see light or sm? my latin is rusty

[misty gulch]

in thy light we shall see light!

basically like

in your light we see light or smth 😭

[blissful walrus]

what does that even mean

[misty gulch]

no clue\

do any of u know if/how i can change my mailing address on the portal

[blissful walrus]

no idea

[misty gulch]

funny how the portal gets more confusing after u get in 💀

[rugged hound]

Oh whixlercan u send Jeni an invite to the Columbia discord

Invites are disabled

[blissful walrus]

sure

beware that you can’t rly do anything until you get your uni tho

[rugged hound]

Hey @blissful walrus do u recommend taking an easier load ur first term

[blissful walrus]

yeah

[rugged hound]

I heard everyone makes their friends first term so I wanna explore the city and meet new ppl before everyone becomes antisocial

Also can u talk a bit abt the pe requirement 😩😭😭

[blissful walrus]

like what about it?

you take 2 sems of pe, I did 2 dance classes

there are a bunch of options

[blissful walrus]

I would start working on your language req if y’all have one, idk ab barnard

otherwise just take the core reqs and an intro class or two

[rugged hound]

I took ap Chinese in high school and got a 5 but I don’t think Barnard accepts that ap credit

Maybe I’ll just take a couple beginner language classes?

[blissful walrus]

there’s probably a placement test

[rugged hound]

Do we have to take two sems of language

[blissful walrus]

it makes sense to get it out of the way early imo to have more space in your later semesters

[rugged hound]

I’ve never heard of a college having a pe credit before lmao

[blissful walrus]

idk what the barnard req is but for columbia you need to complete an intermediate language sequence or test out of it

[blissful walrus]

yeah it’s unusual but just part of the core yk

[rugged hound]

I need to double check the reqs

The Barnard requirements are like a mile long 😭😭😭😭

[blissful walrus]

yeah the core is a lot

[rugged hound]

There’s foundations curriculum and modes of thinking and major requirements and more

[blissful walrus]

idk barnard core at all

[rugged hound]

I think it’s pretty similar

How hell is the workload

[blissful walrus]

the classes are entirely diff I think

I find columbia core classes incredibly easy but idk about the barnard ones at all

[rugged hound]

Oh rlly?? I’ve heard the opposite

That like Columbia core is hell

[blissful walrus]

yeah mine have been p much auto As

people say that because they hate having to learn ab things they don’t care about

and then come to essentially a liberal arts school anyways lmao

if you get good profs the columbia core is easy

but like, why come to this school if you don’t want to do things like review an opera for classes

that’s kinda the whole schtick

[rugged hound]

Do you recommend using rate my professor

[blissful walrus]

I prefer culpa but yeah

[rugged hound]

Is it pretty accurate to the reviews

[blissful walrus]

and there’s an internal review system

well all reviews are subjective and should be taken with a grain of salt

but I find them helpful

for example, the internal reviews ask how many hours a week ppl spend on a class and I find some of those numbers absolutely insane so I mostly ignore that section, but maybe you would feel differently

[dapper fjord]

Ya

[dense wagon]

jeni is our goat

[misty gulch]

do class of 29 shirts exist

my yale friend got one that said class of 2029 on the back

i wonder if we have smth like that

[turbid plover]

I think it might be on the one you can request

[misty gulch]

WAIT YOU CAN REQUEST ONE

WHAT
WHERE

[alpine locust]

iirc from a friend that goes there it was in the portal after her acceptance

or after she enrolled i forget which

[misty gulch]

ohhh

i do not see it : (

maybe they’re done

[wooden bear]

they do!

[alpine locust]

you just got off the waitlist a couple days ago right? it’s probably just delayed in updating

if you still don’t see it next week maybe reach out to admissions to ask

[steady tendon]

Does anyone know the policy on keeping overnight guests in dorms

[dapper fjord]

i got locked out of my financial aid acc bc i forgot my pw 😭

ugh now my introverted self has to call people on the phone

[turbid plover]

I think it’s no more than 5 days in a month

Well

In a 30 period rather

[steady tendon]

Thank you!!

Dyk how dining hall swipes work too

Like for guests

[onyx chasm]

so when I went to admitted students day i was w my friend who is a student at seas

and I only had to show my ID

and then she told the person that registers swipes at Lerner that she had a guest

and it was js two meal swipes

Idk if it’s like that for everyone though

[misty gulch]

oh wait thats not bad

[misty gulch]

is this for barnard dining hall

is it the same vice versa

[onyx chasm]

no

it’s lerner

at columbia

[onyx chasm]

idk how it works at Barnard dining halls but I assume the same

[misty gulch]

oh oh oh

:O

[onyx chasm]

kitty

[dense wagon]

oh my GOD

[proud fulcrum]

college students: is it worth it to cop an air mattress for visitors? or do you just let them thug it out in a sleeping bag

[rugged hound]

We can use our swipes for guests

Like when i visited Barnard my friend just swiped her card twice for me

[dapper fjord]

That’s rlly nice

[steady tendon]

Thank you 🫡

[blissful walrus]

[blissful walrus]

idk, do you want to be in wein

[steady tendon]

Yes! I like the sink but i just saw a tt about like brown water so now i’m worried about sanitary stuff 💀💀

[blissful walrus]

nah all of the dorms have brown water occasionally

everywhere is on the same system so it doesn't rly matter

[turbid plover]

if I get John jay and you don’t I’m down to switch

I want furnald or carman

[misty gulch]

[turbid plover]

I think so?

unsure if id go to penn/cornell because i feel like those spots just get taken up by like wharton kids plus the culture

should make sure i wouldnt just want to do tech bankign since i know opps are good for that here

[lone sky]

what do you want to do in college/after college anyways

[dense wagon]

penn mentioned

[lone sky]

THE LITTLE PEOPLE

ITS LIKE AN ANIMATION WHATT

[misty gulch]

startupping

i do some other stuff on the side though that makes nyc too perfect

[dapper fjord]

so talented

[proud fulcrum]

cool thanks!!

[proud fulcrum]

pardon??

[blissful walrus]

idk old buildings old pipes or sm

nyc water is great just don’t drink it if it looks funny

[proud fulcrum]

im used to not drinking tap bc my pipes have lead at home

so i guess brown water is an upgrade

compared to lead poisoning at least

[misty gulch]

oh.

we WILL be buying britas and water bottles

[rugged hound]

for CC/SEAS columbia studnets do you guys get access to a lot of languagse ur first tyear

barnard only has like six but im wonering if

[blissful walrus]

I love to drink tap

[rugged hound]

we're might be allwoed to take them at columbia becuz they said we can take them "somewhere else"

[blissful walrus]

like language classes? yes

[rugged hound]

like foriegn

language

[blissful walrus]

idk if they will count for you but I’d guess they do

they have a rly long list of the offerings on the cc bulletin

[rugged hound]

oh damn

[rugged hound]

can first years take all of those

i saw the massive list

[blissful walrus]

yeah

[rugged hound]

barnard only offers like 6 languages

damn

[blissful walrus]

there aren’t many classes restricted by year, it’s mostly just if you have the prereqs

so as a freshman you can take any class w no prereqs

[rugged hound]

oh i see

[blissful walrus]

or test into a language if you sorta know it

[rugged hound]

since we cant test out of the langauge requirement i might just take 2 years of another lanaugae

[blissful walrus]

cool

[rugged hound]

I need some more merch 🥺🥺🥺any super cute ones u guys recommend?

[dapper fjord]

you can check out some of the cute college pennant design sweatshirts on etsy!

i wanna make my own version of one 😍

[rugged hound]

Ooooo ty

I might design my own too

Holy they sell whole ass mosaics

[dapper fjord]

Imagine having this in your house 💀

[rugged hound]

Lowkey a mog

[alpine locust]

maybe i’m too transitpilled but i would so put this in my house

[blissful walrus]

they sell off old mta stuff every year, columbia stuff goes fast but you could def get something for your house

[misty gulch]

i’m making a patchwork hoodie w my friend!

would be smth like this

also there’s a lot of cute stuff from bookstore imo i’m buying this

this is for columbia not barnard tho but u get the point

[proud fulcrum]

i want a columbia poloshirt for the memes but why is it literally 80 bucks...

[dapper fjord]

So expensive bruh

I got a Columbia hoodie from my tennis coach for free 😍

[dapper fjord]

Cuteee

[proud fulcrum]

very lucky... you just saved like 300 dollars there

[dapper fjord]

[chilly juniper]

I got a status update

Got in!

[blissful walrus]

congrats!

[chilly juniper]

Any Columbia students - why or why not Columbia?

[blissful walrus]

idk, come here if you like it

don't come here if you don't like it

[misty gulch]

LOL

[misty gulch]

no fr why are all the bookstore hoodies so expensive

amazon ones are slightly cheaper but the designs are a lot more basic too

[dense wagon]

gang wtf i just got off

[misty gulch]

LMAAOAOAOAOAOAOAO

JOIN ME BRO

[dense wagon]

i love u bro

[misty gulch]

i love u bro

this was meant to be

@proud fulcrum did ur friend get off\

[exotic ivy]

what are the chances they take more off the waitlist

[chilly juniper]

High

At least a couple

Bc some ppl will def decline

[dense wagon]

they probably will

[misty gulch]

i think this is the last major wave tho

like 6/6 was SEAS major wave
6/13 is CC major wave

[dense wagon]

yeah a lot of people got taken off this time

[misty gulch]

i think there will be a couple people but thatll be down to individual cases

[wary snow]

woah ton of people got off columbia

wasn’t expecting that ngl despite everything going on

[misty gulch]

i mean there was little movement prior to june

there was a big wave for seas on the 6th and this is like the cc big wave

and i’m guessing there will be little movement from now on

also apparently there’s quite a few kids taking gap years too so they need to take kids off the wl to fill that spot

[dapper fjord]

CONGRATSSS

Were u committed to Penn before? Sorry memory is foggy

[misty gulch]

yes

[dapper fjord]

I see

Big congrats

Why Columbia over penn if I may ask

[misty gulch]

[smoky flax]

Did anything happen guys

I’ve been offline two days 😭

Columbia didn’t email me smh

[dapper fjord]

😭

I gaslight myself into thinking my weight gain is muscle 💔

Anyways I finished painting my tote!

[onyx chasm]

I JS saw this on ur story

It’s so cute

[proud fulcrum]

Yesss reframe the narrative

[proud fulcrum]

This is so sick

[misty gulch]

apparently a lot of kids are taking a gap year 😓 so they would need to fill those spots

[misty gulch]

THIS IS SO CUTEEE

oh also u guys should do the treasure hunt in the portal

one of them has a google drive of like a bunch of images

[dapper fjord]

Tyyyy

[dapper fjord]

Aww

[onyx chasm]

Columbia is my passion🤍

LMAO aw

[dense wagon]

roar

[misty gulch]

roar

what sound does a quaker make

[sharp pike]

Mmm I don't think it was ever truthfully #3 the reason it falled down is because they determined they were inflating their own stats to US News to get ranked higher LOL

But it's T10 anyways so it doesn't rlly matter

[misty gulch]

wait from what i saw idk if their inflation was big enough to get them kicked down that far 😭

but yeah

[sharp pike]

No that knocked them down that far

Lol

[wary snow]

us news is kinda petty

but they did kinda deserve it

[misty gulch]

idk at least this is what i saw

iirc penn did smth similar where they manipulated student:faculty ratios

since columbia doesn't report ANY data now though like idk how accurate their ranking is

[sharp pike]

Chat what else would they have gone down for? The rankings aren’t dynamic

[sharp pike]

But, despite this, US News moved them from 2 -> 18 after the whistleblower revealed their falsified data lmao

They’ve been clawing back up since

In fact they literally stated they relegated them to 18 after determing the faking of key statistics that determine ranking

[dense wagon]

falsifying data as an ivy league kinda embarassing

[dense wagon]

maybe that was as punishment tho

[misty gulch]

i dont get it cs they didnt have to 😭

[misty gulch]

i mean isnt their ranking climbing back up indicative of this otherwise they wouldve stayed at 18

[misty gulch]

no yeah i agree that it tanked them and they were never ranked like #2/#3 level but i just meant like i dont think #18 is their "real ranking with real data" if that makes sense like

not like rankings matter tho LMAO

[wary snow]

I mean they’re closer to 18 than 2

like rn

[chilly juniper]

How competitive / cutthroat is Columbia

[blissful walrus]

as competitive as you make it

people are competitive at any top school, if you don’t want to compete then just don’t do that

[wary snow]

what about brown

everyone gives off chill hippie vibes

[blissful walrus]

is it a top school? then yeah people are gonna compete

you don’t get to brown without giving a shit academically

[dapper fjord]

Another day of wondering if I should’ve chosen brown

It’s okay ROAR

[chilly juniper]

Yea brown strikes me as very very collaborative

That’s what I’m deciding between

[chilly juniper]

Like is it a cutthroat environment or do people go out of their way to collaborate

[blissful walrus]

depends on who you are with

there are thousands of people

some will go out of their way to collaborate, some won’t

also depends on your dept and major

I find the env sci dept very collaborative but I can’t speak on anywhere else

[misty gulch]

ya well we’ll see where they climb up to in the long run

[misty gulch]

wait ik a lot of people who had to choose between columbia and brown, most of them chose columbia n they love it

they’re like. very different schools though so

[chilly juniper]

Wait can u elaborate bc im currently committed to brown lol

[misty gulch]

well brown is known for their open curriculum, and columbia is known for their core curriculum

neither of them are particularly preprofessional like upenn is, but columbia is more pre-professional than brown

someone did a tour w columbia once and posted about it on reddit and said that on fridays like they dont usually have classes and people go to their internships on that day

[sharp pike]

Chat ur going to be competitive at any of the schools

Any of the ivies

[misty gulch]

yeah every ivys gonna have competition 😞

[misty gulch]

Best places to performatively smoke on Columbia campus ?

[proud fulcrum]

Okay that would be sick but also kinda mainstream….

For an esoteric such as myself….

[misty gulch]

what if you lean up against the back of john jay 💔

[proud fulcrum]

Damnnn twin that’s so sweet

Adding that to the list

Ur right

[misty gulch]

[chilly juniper]

😭

[misty gulch]

columbias not as preprofessional as like, upenn for example

[chilly juniper]

I feel like brown isn’t stressful

[misty gulch]

true brown is happier than like every ivy

😟

[chilly juniper]

Yea that’s where I’m committed rn lol

[misty gulch]

yeah

[misty gulch]

do you not fw plato 💔

[chilly juniper]

My AP lit class gave me nightmares

I fear this will be the same

[misty gulch]

ok lowkey if u didn’t like ap lit then columbia might not be the best choice 😭

seas has reduced core requirements tho

[chilly juniper]

I’m in cc lol

[misty gulch]

theoretically u could transfer into seas and then do like financial engineering there

[misty gulch]

yeah

[chilly juniper]

Yea but u have to wait a year

And a lot of the core is first year

[dapper fjord]

I got a pic with my superintendent in his Columbia robe! 🔥

[misty gulch]

holy goated!!!!

wait i wanna see the robe

[dapper fjord]

YUHH

[misty gulch]

fair

i love like the core bro

like they take u on field trips around nyc

[dapper fjord]

It’s so pretty

Slay

[misty gulch]

holy

this is so cute

[dapper fjord]

Yaaa

[misty gulch]

the whatsapp is so cooked

[proud fulcrum]

[blissful walrus]

if you hate the core don’t come here

decision made, ez

[chilly juniper]

Well I don’t know for sure but it seems bad, idk. What do you think of it?

[misty gulch]

wtf r u not in it

[blissful walrus]

i love it

many people don't

[dense wagon]

LMAO

[chilly juniper]

I asked till 27th and they said no bruh

[dense wagon]

why so late when r u visiting

[chilly juniper]

Next week I think

I’m gonna email and ask my AO what he liked abt my application most let’s see if he answers

[dense wagon]

bro is dragging the AO

let me know what he says LMAO

[misty gulch]

wait lmk if it works

i wanna do this too

[chilly juniper]

I will lol

Not expecting it to

But it worked for Umich

So let’s see

[onyx chasm]

Free glaze

[exotic ivy]

class is full apparently

basically gave 4 options, 1 not interested 2 would consider enrolling 3 would probably enrolling 4 would definitely enroll

[exotic ivy]

what was the original deadline?

[smoky flax]

help my mom made me put definitely would attend 🗿

as if thats going to change anything

[exotic ivy]

it def will

[dense wagon]

it will

pure speculation, but if i were them i would not consider anybody who didnt click would definitely enroll

dont lie tho

[exotic ivy]

did u get off the waitlist?

check ur portal

i assume its smtg similar to upenn

[misty gulch]

intriguing

i think it’s still so funny that upenn has a binding waitlist

it’ll probably come in a little

they waitlisted like

thousands

[dense wagon]

its how waitlists should be tbh

[misty gulch]

yeah this is true

everyone and their moms can say __ is their top choice and they would immediately commit

[dense wagon]

facts

[dapper fjord]

Limmy speaking facts

[misty gulch]

i wonder how limmy feels about the columbia co28 class profile

[dapper fjord]

39% is actually crazy

[misty gulch]

glad to see the school newspaper doing well

[chilly juniper]

Columbia AO has NOT responded yet

[barren hamlet]

wtf is happening here

😭

[dense wagon]

bruh im visiting tomorrow

call them

[delicate temple]

The guards do not care icl and you can always get friends to sign ppl in for you

[delicate temple]

U can swipe as many ppl in as you want
End of sem I needed to use up my swipes I swiped in like 8 of my friends

[delicate temple]

Barnard dining is weird y'all have a points system
Columbia ppl going to Barnard j use swipes
Barnard ppl going to Columbia is diff I think

[delicate temple]

Air mattress we have a shared one that ppl borrow

[delicate temple]

It's not bad nobody does the reading

Didn't read a single page of lit hum or cc until day before exams it was fine

And if you actually do want to you can too

[delicate temple]

It's still pretty bad icl like compared to yale or smth

People r hella elitist and weird!

[delicate temple]

Once you commit

[dense wagon]

interesting

[delicate temple]

Wait youtiao

You got columbia

Congrats

[delicate temple]

We talked about ROTC like

Half a yr ago lmao

[delicate temple]

Idk it's all the wannabe rich people

[chilly juniper]

Hmm okay I’m js scared bc I absolutely hated AP lit and these feels eerily similar

[delicate temple]

Seas or cc

What u majoring in ill lyk what dept is like

[chilly juniper]

Cc econ

And I might wanna go law school

[delicate temple]

Nice I'm econpolisci so

[delicate temple]

Icl if you wanna do law school core gonna help u alot

[chilly juniper]

Yea also the competitiveness and lack of community kinda scares me

[delicate temple]

Econ isn't a bad dept the required classes can be tuff sometimes , profs r mid and idk feels like j plugging in equations

[chilly juniper]

Like brown is lowk opposite of Columbia idk 😭

[delicate temple]

Tbh there's community

Friend groups r pre solid

Mine at least idk if you come you can always go out w us

Competitiveness is annoying ye

[delicate temple]

I have friends at brown they love it

I'd say people there are happier on avg

Location is worse tho

[misty gulch]

ooh interesting

is the barnard dining hall better or smth like lowkey idk why i would go to a seperate campus for food 😞

maybe if i get sick of jj tho

[misty gulch]

hows like the school pride lmfao

people say columbia has no school pride but i do see some images of them at games and stuff and its pretty cool to see everyone in merch

also i think everyone ive met has been proud to say they go here

[delicate temple]

Diana has good pizza

[misty gulch]

omg help i dmed you about that i remmeber

[delicate temple]

0 in terms of sports but we defend it when ppl shit talk lmao

I've been to some basketball games and hoco it's fun

But most ppl end up going to Harvard Yale or sum as their big sports game

[delicate temple]
