The
Engineering curriculum at Columbia is definitely demanding. Equally as
demanding is participating in all of the extracurricular activities that
might catch your eye. In addition to all of the commonly available
activities on college campuses, such as sports-both varsity and
intercollegiate-group publications, and student government, there are
many active thriving groups on campus. Various cultural groups, which
welcome all students, organize spectacular fashion shows, buffet
dinners, and dances that are known to sell out. There are also drama,
comedy improv, and a cappella groups on campus to help satisfy your yearning to perform.
In
addition to activities that offer entertainment and cultural education,
there are groups that enable CU students to fulfill their need to help
others. The Community Impact programs organized on campus are not only
an important part of CU's community but the Morning side Heights
community as well, providing tutoring to younger students of the
neighboring schools, peer counselling, and numerous other services.
My
social life was easily extended beyond the borders of our green campus
bounded by the iron gates. The theater is only minutes from campus.
Cuisine of almost any culture is only a hop, skip, and jump away. Any
music-from classical at Lincoln Center to jazz down in the Village to
rock played by various CU bands just across the street at the local
hangout-can be heard in a heartbeat. Major sports arenas are just a
subway ride away. The abundance of activities available in New York City
always left me wishing I could be in more than one place on a Saturday
evening.
