Review of Columbia College Chicago

from Chicago, IL

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

I have learned so much during the past 3 years at Columbia. The hands on experience instructed by professors who work in your field of work is absolutely amazing. You will not find a better college for hands on learners,

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Columbia is far from a dull college. There are always enjoyable events going on and the classes are full of excitement everyday including guest speakers, field trips, and unexpected ways of learning.

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

Columbia is an extremely expensive school. But they do a great job of trying to help their students from work upon graduation. They do this by mandatory internships, counseling, etc. I have one more year until I graduate so I'm not sure if my investment has paid off yet. But I have high hopes that Columbia will take care of me!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Make sure you are serious about the career you intend to pursue. At Columbia the courses are very major-oriented and are difficult to transfer to other major programs.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Artsy, independent, hipster, urban, people who aren't traditional learners, fashionable, different, edgy
