<p>is the undergrad school fairly small? are undergrad and grad schools on the same campus?</p>
<p>yes, smallest college in the Ivy League. Yes, undergrad and grad on same campus.</p>
<p>Student Enrollment (Fall 2005)
Undergraduate 7,407
Morningside Graduate 6,087
Morningside Professional 6,375
Medical Center 2,687
Special Programs and Nondegree Students 1,861
University Total 24,417</p>
<p>These are all on the same campus?</p>
<p>no, the medical center is farther uptown around 168th st.</p>
<p>the undergraduates are all on the morningside campus, along with the morningside graduate/professional students.</p>
<p>the undergraduate population includes ~2000 students at barnard, ~1500 in SEAS, and ~4000 in CC, as well as some GS students.</p>
<p>there are 22 graduate and professional schools, from what i remember from commencement. many students there don't live on campus. so, yeah, it depends on why you're asking.</p>
<p>Is the campus itself like- HUGE? I'm just trying to avoid big schools(population and physical size) . I'm at Penn State and there's over 40K people here. 36K undergrads</p>

<p>dartmouth...</p>
<p>yeah, dartmouth has about 5000. and i'll bet columbia's campus is much smaller than dartmouth's even though dartmouth has no grad school</p>
<p>Well duh, they have a freaking lake! If you wanna live in the middle of nowhere, suit yourself.</p>
<p>You can go skinny dipping.</p>
<p>But middle of nowhere comes with tons of campus activities, parties, etc. Dartmouth turns into a city of sorts every weekend night with the amount of activity on campus. Dartmouth is also in a beautiful area, so midnight swims, ice skating on the pond, going skiing at Dartmouth's skiway, sledding, bonfires, etc all come as additional benefits.</p>
<p>Dartmouth is the smallest Ivy with about 4500 undergrads total.</p>
<p>i wish i had c2002's ability to write scathing posts about how you kids need to do some research before asking questions.</p>
<p>anything regarding numbers like enrollment can EASILY be found on <a href="http://www.columbia.edu%5B/url%5D">www.columbia.edu</a></p>
<p>campus size i will give a break on so here:
<a href="http://www.columbia.edu/about_columbia/map/%5B/url%5D">http://www.columbia.edu/about_columbia/map/</a></p>
<p>that's everything owned by columbia in the morningside area. note that everything NOT between 120th-114th and Broadway-Amsterdam are either dorms or buildings you will rarely, if ever, go to as an undergrad (like the high school owned by columbia or the business school offices on 113, etc)</p>
<p>edit: also note that 1 city block ~= .5 mile so the main campus area is ~1.5sq mi. not including sipa/law/ec</p>
<p>

</p>
<p>very very false..... 20 city blocks = 1 mile (north/south) and east/west the island of manhattan is roughly 2 miles, which, if my calculations are correct, makes the main campus (the part enclosed by the gates) 0.06 sq miles</p>
<p>....nice try though.</p>

<p>yea, your right. i shouldnt have posted that at 12:30 in the morning after a long, long day. i should double check my math when im tired</p>
<p>i think i meant to say "10 city blocks = .5 mile" and i just did the math with what i wrote instead of what i meant</p>
<p>or 1 city block = 0.05 of a mile.</p>
<p>Anyway, to answer the spirit of the question, the campus feels small, nothing at all like Penn State. You will see people you know on your way to class, stop to talk, etc. Sitting on the steps in the center of campus, you'll see a lot of people you know walk by. except at big events in the auditorium, there are never massive crowds anywhere. Basically all of campus is within a square half mile, between 110th and 120th st between riverside and morningside drive. you're never more than a 5 minute walk from anywhere else on campus.</p>
<p>of course, some people complain about this eventually, that they feel restricted by the closeness of everything and that they're claustrophobic. Some people will also complain about anything, given enough familiarity with it. (you'll note feelings about the dining hall will follow a similar pattern). Claustrophobes should probably avoid NYC regardless.</p>
<p>Exactly. </p>
<p>Give them a huge campus and they'll soon complain about how everything is so spread out and that their dear legs give out etc etc.</p>
<p>People who would complain about being claustrophic should ***** their pants when in a cubicle. Which wouldn't particularly matter since you wouldn't have your pants on for too long in a cubicle. I guess claustrophia isn't that bad a thing after all.</p>

<p>The troubling part of the OP wasn't the ten-second googleability of the answer but that it masquerades as something calling for a uselessly subjective value judgment.</p>
<p>"fairly small"? As opposed to "unfairly small"? Or "fairly large"? What the heck does any of that crap mean.</p>
<p>The 'troubling part'? calm the f**k down lol...if you know you're going to freak out like a little queen when people post 'vague' questions then stay away from those types of threads.Read this post...</p>
