<p>i am a junior in high school and i am starting to look at a lot of schools in chicago, because that's the area i'm set on attending. (i live near pittsburgh) </p>
<p>i've done some research on columbia, such as cost, acceptance rate, majors, ect. but i have a list of about 8 chicago schools i'm looking at and i need to narrow it down to about 3. </p>
<p>so if anyone is willing to tell me a little bit about the university it would be greatly appreciated :) such as what the location is like and if it's near downtown, what the atmosphere is like, if students/teachers are generally friendly, ect.</p>
<p>thanks!!

<p>how are your stats?</p>
<p>stats?? you mean sats? i take them next month. i'm not so much worried about whether or not i will get in, just what the people and campus is like so i can decide on where i want to apply.</p>
<p>studentsreview.com</p>
<p>and check out "what do you like, dislike about columbia?"</p>
<p>(it's a featured thread up top)</p>
<p>wait, blueEyez, if you're so set on going to school in Chicago, why are you asking about Columbia? Columbia University is in New York. You may have mixed up Columbia with Columbia College Chicago, which is an art school. see: <a href="http://www.colum.edu/%5B/url%5D">http://www.colum.edu/</a></p>
<p>hope this helps?!</p>
<p>chopsticks...yea i'm an idiot :) i just did a search on schools in chicago and that's what came up. and they're one of the few schools that offer journalism so i put it on my list.</p>
<p>thanks guys for your help!!</p>
