<p>So after having heard several speculations, can Columbia offer you plane tickets to go to the days on campus or not ?
Some people say you just need to phone and say you want one, some say they don't do that.</p>
<p>I received an email offering to pay for my flight.</p>
<p>Only for RD admits, they will.</p>
<p>YEAAAAAH !! I’m RD !!! 
Thanks guy, I’m phoning !</p>
<p>NO WONDER!!!</p>
<p>Gosh I should’ve applied RD lol.</p>
<p>I was wondering why CU didn’t pay for me to fly down from Alaska for Days on Campus last year :(</p>
<p>So it’s official, they pay only for domestic RD students.</p>
<p>I will be living at a friend’s house overnight.</p>
<p>His address is:</p>
<h4>62 St</h4>
<p>Brooklyn, NY 11204</p>
<p>What would be the fastest/most direct route by subway? Does this path look okay or is there is better way?
Start at 62 St on line D
Transfer at 59 St to line 1
Stop at 116 St</p>
<p>Approximately how long should it take me to get to Columbia? Will 30 minutes be enough?</p>
<p>You can check Google Maps. They have the NYC Transit on there. It’ll give you approx. times.</p>
<p>Best website for walking/subway directions is <a href=“http://www.hopstop.com%5B/url%5D”>www.hopstop.com</a></p>
<p>Any other advice for navigating/getting through NYC?</p>
<p>I just called the Undergrad and FA Offices and they told me they don’t ordinarily pay for the Days on Campus visit :[</p>
<p>How did you even get through on the phone? I’ve been calling the FA office all day.</p>
<p>Call the admission office not the FA</p>
<p>They pay for RD admits, not ED. You should’ve gotten an email.</p>
<p>Update, they do pay for international but you need to wait for the e-mail.
Are you parents going to the Days on Campus with you ?</p>
<p>yeah, my dad is coming with me. what’s everyone bringing with them?</p>
<p>Probably sleeping bag, camera and a book for the trip, beside the regular stuff you need when you are away from home.</p>
<p>Did you get the email? If so when and what does it say? Do they offer to pay for everyone or only a select group of internationals?</p>
<p>No idea honestly. I did get the e-mail.</p>
<p>I don’t think I’m going, but did they pass out/give you any information that I should know about? </p>
<p>…was also wondering if they handed out t-shirts if they do, then there’s not point for me to buy one.</p>
