Columbia University in the City of New York Campus

This is a brief video to show you the beautiful Greene Building (Law) in the evening and the stunning library in that building! :)

Sebastian is from Denver, Colorado and is in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS). He really enjoys the diversity of people at Columbia and the way that such an environment fosters learning. He also really enjoys the fact that Columbia is right in New York City and provides many opportunities. As you can see, the themes of diversity, inclusion, and opportunity are often the reasons people feel drawn to Columbia.

The International Affairs building is a really great multi-purpose building on campus. It houses the School of International and Public Relations (SIPA) which is one of Columbia's most renowned schools. It also houses a library and the Language Resource Center which is where a lot of the language classes at Columbia (especially the more niche languages) are taught.

Hello Everyone! My name is Yesenia and I'm a rising sophomore at Columbia University! I'm studying Political Science and Human Rights. I hope my videos help you learn more about Columbia's amazing campus and all of the opportunities accessible in New York City!

Affectionately called "Low Steps" and "Low Beach" these steps that go up to Low Library are one of the favorite places for Columbia students to sit and talk or just look out of the rest of the campus. During the summer they are a great place for sunbathing. A lot of protests also take place on these steps.

Although Columbia is in an enormous city, there are many great parks nearby. Morningside Park is located right next to Columbia's campus and takes its namesake from the neighborhood in which Columbia resides—Morningside Heights. From the overlook by Columbia, one can see the rest of the nearby community, including Harlem and Midtown. If you get the chance to visit, you should definitely stop here to get a sense of the community around Columbia.

The classroom in this video is the room that I have my French classes in. It is located in Hamilton Hall. A great deal of classrooms are fairly small like the one in the video, but of course, there are larger lecture halls. My French class has six people in it and my largest class is 22 people. Of course, there are larger lecture classes that are required, but most classes are fairly intimate. The student to teacher ratio at Columbia is 6:1.

In the middle of Columbia's Quad is college walk! You enter from 116th and Broadway or Amsterdam into our open campus. During the winter, Columbia lights the trees for a beautiful sight. Around the quad are the main places every student goes to for class, studying, or even getting a bite! This is probably the place you see pictured on our pamphlets.

Imagine studying here for finals week. You're stressed about a grade or you really just want to get this semester over with...Right before the first night of finals, Columbia's Marching Band plays an array of songs (cheerful yet off-tune) and jokingly roasts Columbia for half an hour. This library is known to be a place of stress; however, we do still continue traditions that let you relax a little.

A place where not a lot of people study- but should! On a nice day, you can feel the sun bounce on your skin as you chill upon this park-like bridge. This is Narizza's must-see choice because it's the perfect place to reflect and envision an awesome college experience here in New York City!

A walk into Hamilton Hall- the place where every Columbia student has probably taken a class.

Life at Columbia can be hectic, but the community and opportunity for academic expansion is worth it. This video covers everything from food to the campus and classes. I would suggest visiting as many of the spots in the video if you come to visit.

This is an introduction of the famous Butler Library at Columbia. Most of the students choose to study at Butler!

Hi! I am happy to introduce my roommate Eva. She is currently a master student at Columbia University majoring in Statistics. Let's listen to her top three reasons for choosing Columbia!

South Lawn is one of the best places on campus to hang out with friends and lay in the grass. It is actually the largest piece of privately-owned, undeveloped land in New York City. It is central to pretty much everything on campus and if you come to Columbia, you will pass through it everyday. Unfortunately the lawns are not always open and they are gated so students can't always make full use of them.

This is one of my favorite buildings at Columbia University! Let me take a tour with you and my camera.
