Columbia College Chicago Top Questions

I brag most about how my school has created the opportunity for me to combine the two things that I am most passionate about: my art and my family. I have always lived thousands of miles away from my older sister and father in California. However Columbia College has allowed me to become closer to my family and my goals.

Small classrooms, instructors are very accessible.

If I talk my school up to other peers I talk about how diverse this school is. There are students who come from all over, nationally and internationally to attend Columbia and it brings a great aspect to the community. Because there is so much diversity, the students can learn new ways of life that are beyond the classroom. Simply by interacting with other students, people here gain a better overall experience to take with them in the future.

I love how open students are with each other. I enjoy critiques of others work and my own, and the teachers all work in the field and can assist with real-world problems.

That it has such an open, welcoming, artistic enviroment! I feel free to explore my talent and my intrests and see where i end up! And its filled with people who are just as passionate about their art as i am about mine! And the professiors are still working artists so they can help you get a foot in the door of your carrer!

I brag to my friends about the curriculum at Columbia College. The teachers are all still working in their fields of interest while they are teaching. Here at Columbia College 3 years of Math,foreign language and science is not needed.

I love this question. I always tell my friends that my school gets an extra week for Winter Break which I find to be pretty cool. However, the one thing I always brag about is the diversity that Columbia College has. It feels so good to meet new people from around the world and it disappoints me that some of my friends do not get that opportunity.

I usually talk about the dorms and social scene. The new dorms are very spacious and comfortable. They are located in downtown Chicago so there is usually always something fun to do. In certain rooms you can see Lake Michigan and the view is very pretty in the morning. Even if you don't want to leave the building to have fun there is always something going on on the inside.

I mostly brag about the fact that since i'm a music major, there isn't much focus on the general education classes like most other universities. Also living in the city is another cool aspect to going to school, because you have many more opportunites to see and do things

There are two features that I make a point to brag about, the first being that fact that I live in a city like Chicago. There is every kind of person you can imagine and more walking through its streets. It is so much fun living in the city, coming from a suburb, because it makes you realize just how big and amazing our world is. The second special aspect of Columbia, is that you get to actually study your passion. Film has and always will be a huge part of my life, and homework for me is fun.
