Review of Columbia College Chicago

from Oak Park, IL

Describe your college in three sentences.

I love Columbia. It's a great environment for artists. I am always getting great opportunities.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Know what you're getting into. You will live and breathe your art. It can be a lot more work than you may think.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

I'm in the honors program so all of my classes have been difficult.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Most of the dorms are amazing and it's fun to be right there in the middle of downtown.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Not everyone is required to have a meal plan so it can get expensive to eat without one. But there's a Trader Joe's and Jewel within walking distance so just get used to cooking for yourself. Toppers every night might be fun for a week but it gets old fast.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Lots of stuff. Your U-Pass allows the city to be your campus.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Columbia is not that expensive and I feel like I am getting so much.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

those who want to live and breathe their art.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

doesn't exist.
