<p>Hey, any GS students here? Is the degree and name and everythign given the exact same as a regular CC student. Will an employer be able to tell the difference? Is the email the same at columbia.edu? Also are they segregated aroudn campus, is the only difference between a traditioanl student if you are still young the housing which you can still get columbia apartments. How are those? thanks</p>
<p>Why do you care if employers/others can tell if you are/were a GS student? I believe education is all about true learning and wanting to know more. Its not about how others perceive your education.</p>
<p>You will probably disagree, but I think the question you SHOULD be asking is: </p>
<p>Do GS students really take the same classes as regular CC students and experience the exact same quality of learning.</p>
<p>But, I shouldn't be judgemental, and to answer your questions, the regular CC degree is in Latin, while GS is in English. You get the same columbia.edu email.</p>
<p>No, I get what your saying and I agree with you. I already found out about hte classes. THis is just for job placement as it will be a big deciison and a factor into my future as well. In an ideal world I wish those things were the only things that mattered, the ones you mentioned above; however, its just not htecase. The degree is in English ,does it say the same thing though? What about how the students are integrated with the Columbia Colelge, or are they sort of segregated? Thanks</p>

<p>1) please do a search, there are some massive threads about GS and even tho they tend to degenerate into flaming, the initial posts tend to be good ones</p>
<p>2) GS students have their own clubs, housing, etc. granted you are allowed to join cc/seas clubs but i haven't seen it that often. no one but cc/seas firstyear undergrads is required to eat in the dining hall (and therefore tend to be the only ones to do it regularly).....so if those are the things you mean by "segregated" then yea, i guess so. but it's mostly a self-segregating thing</p>
