Any accepted students getting boatloads of mail and email from Columbia

Colleges and Universities A-Z Columbia University

<p>I have, it is absolutely ridiculous. Today is the very first day, excluding sundays, that I haven't gotten mail from them, in at least two weeks.</p>

2

<p>You mean the letters from alumni, students, random things they send you like, "hey, Columbia's cool!" etc?</p>

<p>I assume that it's just what Columbia does.</p>

3

<p>Haha I kind of like it... makes me feel wanted :]</p>

4

<p>Same! I've received maybe 6 letters and countless emails.
It's a nice touch, even though some of them are form mailings.</p>

5

<p>Def. know what you mean, i've gotten one today, and i kind of miss it. :)</p>

6

<p>Do you guys get any cool stuff (t-shirts, bumper stickers, etc.) at least? All I got from Columbia was a DOC shirt.</p>

7

<p>A small bumper sticker came with acceptance packets (Color Shock brand, so at least they're good quality). Otherwise, zip...the goody bags at DoC consisted of an apple, a bottle of water, and a cookie.</p>

<p>It's times like these that I wish there was an "eye-rolling" smilie on CC...</p>

<p>Wow, NightOwl... way to bash on Barnard before you've even been to Columbia! You're not even a current student.. maybe you shouldn't discriminate until you've at least interacted with a Barnard student at least once. ;p</p>

<p>Yeah, the constant mail really is a nice touch. However, I am currently very unhappy because I didn't get a bumper sticker like NightOwl!</p>

<p>seriously? two years ago we at least got t-shirts and last year the kids got a throw blanket with columbia university embroidered on a corner.</p>

<p>^Unfair! </p>

<p>I didn't even get this alleged bumper sticker...:(</p>

<p>Though I suppose the night bus tour at the accepted students thing qualifies as them spending money on us.</p>

12

<p>Yeah, but I was still able to smootch off a MUN t-shirts, so all is not lost...</p>

<p>But look on the bright sight, once we get to CU, we can get all kinds of columbia stuff. :)</p>

<p>I haven't received anything.
Bad sign, I suppose.</p>
