<p>What materials have Columbia 2013 students gotten in the mail after enrollment?</p>
<p>I'm a US citizen living abroad and I remember reading about people getting some packets or something... (i haven't gotten anything from Columbia via the mail after enrollment so wondering if there's stuff i'm missing that i should ask for)</p>
<p>A package from student advising, detailing the core and graduation requirements. Also includes a yellow sheet that the counselor needs to mail with the final transcript and a page about summer advising sessions. I think that’s about it.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Any materials on course selection, etc.?</p>
<p>The booklet does not mention the specifics of choosing courses, but it covers different course requirements (e.g. core courses, requirements for graduation, premed prerequisites).</p>
<p>^Yeah, the mail-in wasn’t much actually. Just a brief on information most of us already know.</p>
<p>correct, most of the info you can find on the internet (the electronic version of the Bulletin)</p>
<p>I the lack of meaningful contact strange. Who doesn’t love getting something everyother day from a school you love? (other than trees) Maybe I’m too much of a romantic.</p>
<p>I actually agree with you there. The flow of mail (and email) seems to have stopped after they received our confirmation of attendance.</p>
<p>haha. yeah! It does suck…
I check my mail eagerly everyday only to be disappointed.</p>
<p>My high school sent a final transcript at the end of May for literally every student in the school that was going to college. Do I have to go to my school and request that they send another?</p>
<p>Nope 10char</p>
<p>I still haven’t received any packets in the mail about student advising, graduation requirements, and such. I live in GA. Is that bad?</p>
<p>maybe give them a call?</p>
<p>but honestly, the mail package wasn’t much. most of the stuff you’d know</p>
<p>Yeah, I kind of find the lack of communication a little bit depressing as well. Maybe Columbia’s bureaucracy was a little bit thicker than we thought.</p>
<p>You will be receiving all the information you need in well enough time. Most of what is being discussed here will be covered during Freshman Orientation. A lot was covered during the summer advisement sessions that are now being held. </p>
<p>As a parent who is paying a good portion of my child’s education, I would prefer the college save admin costs by not “showing the love” every other day.</p>
<p>Chill out, enjoy your summer, and good luck in the fall.</p>
<p>thanks! i got the package today.</p>
