Columbia University in the City of New York Campus

Columbia's gym is very equipped. You will enjoy your time here! Don't forget to try the sauna room!

The Amsterdam Overpass connects Columbia's campus by bridging Amsterdam Avenue. It is a really picturesque spot and students really enjoy spending time there. There are also some interesting sculptures on the Overpass. One of these is affectionately called "The Tooth" and can be turned if you have enough people and are feeling a little crazy.

South Lawn is one of the best places on campus to hang out with friends and lay in the grass. It is actually the largest piece of privately-owned, undeveloped land in New York City. It is central to pretty much everything on campus and if you come to Columbia, you will pass through it everyday. Unfortunately the lawns are not always open and they are gated so students can't always make full use of them.

Although Columbia is in an enormous city, there are many great parks nearby. Morningside Park is located right next to Columbia's campus and takes its namesake from the neighborhood in which Columbia resides—Morningside Heights. From the overlook by Columbia, one can see the rest of the nearby community, including Harlem and Midtown. If you get the chance to visit, you should definitely stop here to get a sense of the community around Columbia.

The Columbia Core is a unique trait of Columbia University. This is where you have intellectual conversations about the Canon whether it be praising or critiquing it. Dean James J. Valentini's office is here and he's the coolest Dean you'll ever meet. The Core Office is also located here if you have any questions about what a Columbia education is centered around. Fun fact: The bathrooms in this building are on separate floors! Why oh why did the old engineers think that was a good idea?

The gym in Columbia is really awesome. It's free for students, and they almost have all types of equipment you want to find. There are also a swimming pool and some squash fields in the gym somewhere downstairs. Most importantly, you can also take a shower after you finish the workout, the gym provides towels and shampoo.

This is a brief video to show you the beautiful Greene Building (Law) in the evening and the stunning library in that building! :)

Havemeyer Hall contains one of the most filmed classrooms in America. If you're a fan of the Spiderman movies, you might recognize it. Although most classrooms at Columbia do not look like this, it is really cool to have classes or club meetings in such an iconic space.

College Walk is a pedestrianized section of 116th street that bisects Columbia's main campus. Every student walks this scenic section of campus almost every day and if you come visit Columbia, this is definitely the first part of campus you will see after getting off of the subway and walking through the gates. In the winter, the trees are lit up with Christmas lights at a lighting ceremony.

The International Affairs building is a really great multi-purpose building on campus. It houses the School of International and Public Relations (SIPA) which is one of Columbia's most renowned schools. It also houses a library and the Language Resource Center which is where a lot of the language classes at Columbia (especially the more niche languages) are taught.

Joe's Coffee overlooking Broadway is one of the most photographed places on campus. If you come to Columbia, you should definitely make sure to visit. This is also one of my favorite study spots because even though the espresso bar closes at 8pm, you can still sit at the tables and do work all night long.

Butler Library is the favorite study spot for most students at Columbia. I enjoy studying here, but personally find that the ornate, museum-like environment can feel oppressive at some points. It is the only library that is open 24/7 though. It is also really hard to find somewhere to sit during peak hours because students take over every corner of the library. Personally, I enjoy going to some of the smaller libraries on campus to study.

A place where not a lot of people study- but should! On a nice day, you can feel the sun bounce on your skin as you chill upon this park-like bridge. This is Narizza's must-see choice because it's the perfect place to reflect and envision an awesome college experience here in New York City!

This is an introduction of the famous Butler Library at Columbia. Most of the students choose to study at Butler!

Hi! I am happy to introduce my roommate Eva. She is currently a master student at Columbia University majoring in Statistics. Let's listen to her top three reasons for choosing Columbia!

This is one of my favorite buildings at Columbia University! Let me take a tour with you and my camera.
