5 Things to See on your Campus Tour of Columbia

Do you know how to improve your profile for college applications.

See how your profile ranks among thousands of other students using CollegeVine. Calculate your chances at your dream schools and learn what areas you need to improve right now — it only takes 3 minutes and it's 100% free.

It is a known fact that college tours on their own can be intimidating, and it is likely that touring schools in New York City might feel even more daunting. When it comes to touring schools in New York, you might find yourself confused as to what you should even be looking for. Luckily, CollegeVine is here to help!

Columbia University is an Ivy League school in New York City. It is located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in Morningside Heights. This post will focus mostly on worthwhile spots to visit on Columbia’s campus, but if you are interested in learning more about this school, be sure to check out The Ultimate Guide to Applying to Columbia , A Day in the Life of a Columbia Student , and How to Write the Columbia University Essays 2016-17 . For a guide to the top 5 spots to visit on your campus tour of Columbia, read on!

Want to learn what Columbia University will actually cost you based on your income? And how long your application to the school should take?  Here’s what every student considering Columbia University needs to know.

Butler Library

It is safe to say that Butler Library is one of the top study spots on Columbia’s campus. In fact, one could probably argue that “ugh, I have to go to Butler” is one of the most commonly spoken phrases on campus.

Butler offers tons of different environments in which to study: If you prefer to study around lots of other people, Butler 301 is probably the room for you, while if you want a more secluded space, you might consider getting a desk in one of the reading rooms. If you want to study together with a group of your friends, consider sitting in the Butler Café or securing a study alcove! Be sure to take a look at Butler Blue Java as well — this mini-café has coffee and snacks for students to purchase in the midst of their late-night study sessions.

Hungarian Pastry Shop

Located on 111th Street & Amsterdam Avenue, Hungarian Pastry Shop is another must-see on Columbia’s Campus. This café offers coffee, tea, pastries, cakes, and even savory snacks like spanikopita. It is a popular place for students to study, meet up with friends, or even go on dates! The shop gains some of its charm from the fact that it was the old haunt of the poets like Jack Kerouac and other members of the Beat Generation, a group of famous writers that attended Columbia in the 1940s.

The Hungarian Pastry Shop doesn’t have any WiFi, which can be helpful or frustrating depending on what type of work you’re trying to get done — the lack of Internet connection makes it a lot more difficult to procrastinate online, but it can also be irritating to try and do homework that requires internet access. In addition, given that this is such a well-beloved local spot, it is almost always crowded, so be prepared to struggle to find a seat! If you do find yourself visiting this historic Columbia eatery, you should also keep in mind that it is cash-only.

Riverside Park

If you’re someone from a more rural or suburban area and worried about missing out on nature by going to school in the city, then Riverside Park is definitely the place for you! It’s a beautiful spot that will help you feel like you’re away from the city, if only for a few minutes.

Located along Riverside Drive from West 125th Street to West 72nd Street, this park has a calm, quiet atmosphere that Columbia students love. The park is often filled with families and people walking their dogs; it can also be a great place to do exercise. Whether this means jogging or doing yoga, Riverside Park is a great place for Columbia students to unwind and relax. It’s also a great place to view sunsets!

Discover your chances at hundreds of schools

Our free chancing engine takes into account your history, background, test scores, and extracurricular activities to show you your real chances of admission—and how to improve them.

One of the Residence Halls

It is no secret that Columbia housing is well-beloved by its students — in fact, 94% of undergrads opt to remain in on-campus housing for all four years! On Columbia’s campus, there are 19 undergrad residence halls and 18 brownstones. For more information on the ins and outs of CU housing, take a look at their website .

As for which dorms, you should take a look during your campus tour and consider, first, what type of Residence Hall experience you might be looking for at college. Columbia freshmen are allowed to live in four different halls: Carman , John Jay , Hartley , and Furnald . Each building has its own idiosyncrasies, and one of the best ways to get to know each is to talk to actual Columbia students.

If you’re looking for a more quiet freshman-year experience, be sure to check out Hartley or Furnald — most of the rooms in these halls are singles, and you’ll also get the chance to live amongst upperclassmen. If you’d prefer a more social experience or only want to live with first-years while you transition into college life, then check out Carman Hall.

Some of the upperclassman dorms on Columbia’s campus also have some unique features! You can try out apartment-style living in Watt or Woodbridge , or, if you choose to live in Wien Hall , you could even enjoy your very own sink in your bedroom!

Columbia Dining is well known for being exemplary (it was even ranked 2nd for “Best Colleges for Food in America” by The Daily Meal). Columbia Dining is a Level 1 Certified Green Restaurant , and it is also well known for providing lots of vegetarian, vegan, halal, and kosher options for students. For more information about Dining at Columbia, be sure to check out their website .

Among Columbia’s 3 dining halls, JJ’s Place is the late-night hot spot for snacks, burgers, dessert, and more! Up until recently, JJ’s Place has stayed open until 1am, but starting in the 2017-2018 academic year, it will be open even later — all night, up until 10am!

As a result of their late-night hours, JJ’s is often home to students returning from a late night at the library or from hanging out with friends on the weekends. In addition to burgers of all kinds, JJs offers plenty of fried foods like mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers, and chicken wings. You can also get custom-made omelets, scrambled eggs, quesadillas, and pancakes. There is even a soft serve machine! If you want to get an accurate view of life at Columbia and enjoy some delicious (if a bit unhealthy) food, be sure to stop by JJ’s Place.

While there is no perfect way to get an accurate view of a given school, checking out the places that students prefer to go is always a good place to start. Whether you are considering Columbia for its rigorous academics, its social scene, its numerous dining options, its top-notch residence halls or its prime location in New York City, hopefully this list will be a helpful starting point in your foray into Columbia’s campus culture.

New texts show columbia deans mocked jewish students over antisemitism concerns: ‘comes from such a place of privilege’.

• View Author Archive

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Columbia University deans accused Jewish students of asserting “privilege” — and mocked them for needing a place to “huddle” to avoid antisemitism and harassment on campus, new text messages released Tuesday show.

Associate deans Josef Sorett, Susan Chang-Kim, Matthew Patashnick and Cristen Kromm exchanged the dismissive and derisive texts while seated in the audience of a May 31 alumni event about Jewish life on campus, which were released in full by the House Education Committee.

“Laying the case to expand physical space! They will have their own dorm soon,” said Patashnick, associate dean for student and family support, in one message, prompting Chang-Kim, vice dean and chief administrative officer of Columbia College, to respond: “Comes from such a place of privilege.”

“Hard to hear the woe is me, we need to huddle at the Kraft center Huh??” Chang-Kim added, referring to the campus Hillel chapter. ​​”Trying to be open minded to understand but the doors are closing.”

“Amazing what $$$$ can do,” Kromm said, adding at another point: “If only every identity community had these resources and support.”

Columbia had featured multicultural graduation celebrations for black, Asian, Native American, LGBTQIA+ and “Latinx” students — but not Jewish students .

The May 31 panel had included Columbia’s Kraft Center for Jewish Life executive director Brian Cohen; former Columbia Law School dean David Schizer, who co-chaired the university’s task force on anti-Semitism; religious life dean Ian Rottenberg; and rising Columbia junior and journalist and the campus newspaper Rebecca Massel.

The Washington Free Beacon first obtained and reported on the text exchanges — including one that used vomit emojis in reference to an op-ed about antisemitism authored by Columbia’s Campus Rabbi Yonah Hain.

Chang-Kim, Patashnick and Kromm were later placed on leave .

“I’m going to throw up,” Chang-Kim wrote in response to another portion of the discussion when a Holocaust survivor, Orly Mishan, expressed fear about her daughter “hiding in plain sight” while student-protesters embraced Hamas following the terror group’s Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, the outlet noted.

“His use of the word Hamas is interesting,” Patashnick claimed elsewhere. “Students generally weren’t protesting for Hamas.”

A spokesman for the US-designated foreign terrorist organization endorsed the tent cities that popped up on college and university campuses nationwide last spring, praising them for having helped “ refute the Zionist narrative .”

“Jewish students deserve better than to have harassment and threats against them dismissed as ‘privilege,’ and Jewish faculty members deserve better than to be mocked by their colleagues,” Education Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) said in a statement.

“These text messages once again confirm the need for serious accountability across Columbia’s campus,” she added of the exchanges, which had been provided voluntarily.

A Columbia University official told The Post that the school is “committed to combatting antisemitism and taking sustained, concrete action to ensure Columbia is a campus where Jewish students and everyone in our community feels safe, valued, and able to thrive.”

Sorett is also cooperating with the investigation into his three colleagues who were placed on leave and “will be recused from all matters relating to the investigation while continuing to serve as Dean of the College,” the official added.

Sorett previously issued a private apology to Columbia’s Board of Visitors, according to the Free Beacon, claiming that the texts, some of which he sent , did not “indicate the views of any individual or the team.”

Columbia’s Morningside Heights campus was a seedbed for many of the anti-Israel tent encampments at schools across the country, which called for universities to divest from Israel and opposed the Jewish state’s war against Hamas.

In late April, a mob of masked pro-Hamas rioters even occupied the university’s Hamilton Hall building, breaking a window with a hammer and flying a huge flag calling for “intifada” from a second-story window. Dozens were arrested within 24 hours — with many seeing their charges dropped by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg.

Columbia President Minouche Shafik came under fire for refusing to say whether “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” was an antisemitic phrase while testifying before Congress.

Columbia U. spokesman assaulted and told to go back to his country, he says

The New York Police Department is investigating an attack on a Columbia University staff member who says he was struck in the head and had xenophobic remarks shouted at him last week near campus. 

Ben Chang, the university’s spokesperson and vice president for communications, was on his way to work on June 17 when a man approached him just a few blocks from school, began yelling at him and hit him with a metal water bottle, according to the NYPD. Chang told NBC News that during the altercation, the man told him to “go back to your f‐‐‐‐‐‐ country” and continued following him for some time after the assault.

So far, no arrests have been made, but the NYPD said the Hate Crime Task Force was notified about the attack.  

“It’s important to report what happened both in my own case, but also for overall, trying to make sure this sort of thing doesn’t happen in the future,” Chang said. “I’m born and raised in the D.C. area. My mom grew up in West Virginia. We don’t get much more American and apple pie. And that’s jarring.” 

Chang, 52, said the confrontation was unprompted, that he didn’t speak to the man or bump into him. As the man yelled at him, Chang said he attempted to ignore him and kept walking, but the man then struck him anyway. 

Chang said he tried to escape by getting on a passing bus, helped by a passenger and the bus driver, but the man continued shouting at him from outside. Though Chang said he got off two blocks uptown, he noticed that the man had also kept on walking up, eventually spotting him and attempting to engage him again. After seeing that Chang had alerted a school public safety officer, the man walked off. Chang did not seek medical attention. 

Chang, who’s lived in New York City for  two years, said the attack was shocking, particularly as he’s still unsure what triggered it. 

“I hope he gets help,” Chang said of the perpetrator. “I hope he doesn’t do this again.”

Your chance of acceptance, your chancing factors, extracurriculars, seeking top engineering schools in new york.

Hi friends! I'm set on studying engineering in New York. What are the top engineering schools in the area? And how do I decide which one is best suited to my goals? Thanks in advance!

Hi there! New York has some excellent engineering schools to choose from. Here are a few notable ones in the area:

1. Columbia University (Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science)

2. Cornell University (College of Engineering)

3. New York University (Tandon School of Engineering)

4. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI)

5. Stony Brook University (College of Engineering and Applied Sciences)

6. Binghamton University (Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science)

In order to decide which engineering school is best suited to your goals, consider the following factors:

1. Engineering Specialties: Research the schools' specific engineering programs and available majors to see if they offer the particular field of engineering you're interested in, such as civil, mechanical, electrical, or computer engineering.

2. Faculty and Resources: Look into the faculty research interests and the research facilities offered by the schools. If you're interested in a particular area of engineering, this can play a significant role in your decision.

3. Class Size and Student-to-Faculty Ratio: Smaller class sizes and a lower student-to-faculty ratio generally mean more individual attention and support from professors.

4. Extracurricular Opportunities: Investigate the availability of engineering clubs, project teams, or research opportunities that can enhance your learning experience and help build your network.

5. Campus Environment: Visit the campuses (if possible) or attend virtual tours to get a sense of the location, size, and overall atmosphere of each school to ensure it aligns with your personal preferences.

6. Financial Aid and Scholarships: Compare the financial aid packages and scholarship opportunities at each school to determine which ones will be the most cost-effective for you.

7. Job Placement and Networking: Research the schools' alumni network, career services, and job placement rates in your specific field to evaluate the likelihood of a successful career path after graduation.

By assessing these factors, you'll be better equipped to determine which engineering school in New York will best align with your academic and career goals. Good luck in your search!
