<p>Does the school have it's own 'campus' separate from the other schools, or is everything on one huge campus? I did that 'college matchmaker' thing on collegeboard and chose small-medium sized schools(population-wise) as one of my criteria. Among the search results was "columbia: Fu Foundation school of engineering and applied science' and the school supposedly has 1,409 students. I'm thinking the only reason they showed the population of the engr. school as opposed to the entire school is that the engineering school has it's own campus.no?</p>
<p>Same Campus.</p>
<p>I don't really know why Columbia so over-emphasizes the separation between Engineering and the College. At other schools with a similar setup, like Penn, the difference is rarely acknowledged. It's really one school, with some different class requirements and areas of study.</p>
<p>s snack, what? Columbia barely acknowledges the separation here as well. Same dorms, same core curriculum, same classes (except for major), some overlapping majors like CompSci, same dining halls, same underclass advisors, same orientation program, same campus events (and clubs), same access to other perks... *** are you talking about?</p>
<p>They probably emphasize it because the donor required that.</p>
<p>Well, they emphasize it to pre-frosh. Maybe it ends after that. But we had separate DOC's (other schools don't), separate "accepted student chats," and all that crap.</p>
<p>that's because other schools dont have cores like columbia does. since it takes up about 1/3 or something of your time, it does make sense to talk to the 2 schools separately since otherwise you would be making people sit thru things they dont need to hear</p>
<p>edit: ^remember the 2 cores are vastly different which is why you would be wasting people's time</p>
<p>otherwise, i agree with denz</p>
