Columbia University in the City of New York Campus

Ferris Booth is my personal favorite of the dining halls at Columbia. It offers ready-made sandwiches as well as great salad bar. They also have an action station special of the day which varies from banh m with pork belly to gourmet grilled cheese. Unfortunately, the lines for these items can get extremely long at meal times. It is also important to mention that Columbia was just ranked the 2018 #1 best college for food by The Daily Meal.

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.

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.

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.

A band showed up on campus for an exhilarating show. I was on my way to take my classes, so I didn't have enough time to know more about the event. There are many events usually held at the lawn area in front of the Butler Library every semester!

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.

Columbia University contains many great schools. The majority of the undergraduate population is in the College or the School of Engineering and Applied Mathematics. However, as students, we still have access to the resources of the other Columbia-affiliated schools such as Barnard and the Teacher's College. Barnard is also an undergraduate college and has its own administration, but is connected to Columbia. It is all women. There is definitely tension between Columbia College Students and Barnard students though because we share so many of the same facilities.

In the middle of Columbia's Quad is college walk! You enter from 116th and Broadway or Amsterdam into our open campus. During the winter, Columbia lights the trees for a beautiful sight. Around the quad are the main places every student goes to for class, studying, or even getting a bite! This is probably the place you see pictured on our pamphlets.

Columbia has an underground gym packed with tons of equipment. An indoor track, treadmills, bike machines, weight rooms, basketball/tennis/squash courts, studios for classes- you name it!

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.

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.
