Coming into Columbia College Chicago, I honestly believe it was everything I expected and more. If I would have known from the beginning when I began to consider a variety of college options, that this was the only school for me then I would have went straight to the campus and had selected it as my first choice after one visit. As an artistic person, this school satisfied me artisticaly while challenging me academically and although I favored other potential schools, they could not offer me the combinaion of skills I have learned in the art and entertainment industry world.
