Columbia College Chicago Top Questions

The worst thing is perhaps the amount of time and effort put into advertising for new students (too much!) And the open admissions policy.

I think that the school is great but it is pretty expensive so I would say that it would be the cost.

Columbia College, Chicago is a great school and I love it. There is nothing bad about the school, but I do feel that the cost of tuition and housing is somewhat expensive and has caused a financial challenge for my mom and I that is the reason why I am applying for grants and scholarships. I have an outstanding balance that is not being covered by financial aid, and it is a bit frustrating at the same time as scary. I really want to continue my musical education at Columbia College, Chicago.

The cost is probably the worst thing about Columbia. As an art college, the tuition's pretty high. Most people choose Columbia because it's not as expensive as most other art schools, but many students still struggle financially. Chicago is an expensive city.

I would say the worst thing is the tuition. My parents are paying the bulk of my tuition out of pocket. I feel bad because my sister is going to college soon and she will need money as well. The price of living on campus is also pretty high. I am commuting due to the high prices of on campus living.

What i consider the worst about my school is the financial aid help. I dont believe that columbia gives help to those who cant afford college. i am one of those people and thye dont give enough money that i need to attend the college. I believe it should be alot more help out there for Columbia College students.

I go to Columbia College , located Downtown Chicago. I just started my first semester at Columbia on January 25 ,2010 and its now January 26, 2010 so i was only there for two day. But I can speak on the oriention days and the two days I have gone there, I really dont have anything nagative to say about my school so fare I love it and the people are nice.

The worst thing about my school is, if you can consider this a bad thing, there are too many options for classes you can take. This sounds like a great thing but it makes it a little hard to be able to choose what you need not just what you want that sounds fun. Also with this it is hard to be a definite sophmore or junior or so on because you could just be taking awesome classes that do not pretain to what your majors in. When picking classes just be sure to really make sure you need it.

The worst thing about my school is that it doesn't have competitive sports teams. I think that this is the worst thing because when I was in high school and though about college I would always thought of a huge stadium filled with lots of crazed fans.

The tuition for Columbia College is very high, even for in-state students. Funding for financial aid has decreased since first attending Columbia, so I have had to look outside of government funding to pay for school, which has not been easy in our economy.
