<p>NYC + college can be overwhelming. I thought NYC was such a fantastic place and I would want to explore it so much (and so would everybody else) that I would lose the real "college" feeling of a school where everyone is almost always nearby.</p>
<p>Columbia proponents are absolutely right when they say NYC is fantastic. It totally is. And that's why I don't want it to dilute/overshadow my college experience.</p>
