I feel the worst thing about Columbia College Chicago is that it is very under-acclaimed that it has a negative stigma attatched to it. I had planned at first for Columbia to be my fall-back and last resort if I was not able to attend the other schools I had applied to. After spending just one semester there I realize that Columbia has excellent programs, teachers, and students. I wish that Columbia was seen in a brighter light more often so prospective students wouldn't shy away from attending Columbia College Chicago.

At this point the worst thing that I consider about my school would be it?s price. Since I graduated from high school I have been attending community colleges where the price for a single class is less than triple what it would be at Columbia College Chicago. Having had done my research to take some of the same classes for a far more cheaper price leads to my minor unhappiness with my school.

The Price. It costs too much to attend this school...though it's a great innovative school that has a great mixing pot when it comes to culture. Tuition is overpriced and some of the buildings need to be fixed up.

The price; although you get what you pay for.

The worst thing about my school was the organization of communication. There were a few conflicts with financial services that wouldn't have arisen with quality communication. Other than that, I would say the meal selection. It was diverse in the beginning (i mean way better than the high school cafe). After a couple weeks the meals were predictable.

The worst thing about my school is that they let too many people in. The reason i believe that this is the worst part is because it takes away from the integtiry of the learning enviornment. This is seen in the different arts classes where there are people who seem to think they know what there doing when it comes to the arts, when in reality they do not.

I suppose the worse thing about my school is that it seems very insular. They hire very brilliant and connected teachers, however, there seems to be little to connect to the school to the Chicago community. This makes it slightly more difficult to find connections for jobs outside the school once you have graduated. The teachers themselves are great connections to use however.

It's ran like a business, the administrative end of things is very impersonal and often not helpful.

The amount (or lack there of) financial aid given.

I think one of the worst things about Columbia is that because some of the teachers are professionals in their fields they are not the best teachers. I've only experienced this with one or two teachers, however, just because someone is extremely qualified in their field doesn't necessarily make them a great teacher and Columbia should pay more attention to that.
