Very helpful info! I enjoyed strolling through Central Park w u lol. I’m glad ur focusing on financials in ur next vid — that’s the main thing holding me back from applying rn😭 A few lingering questions: is Colombia stingy w financial aid? Are teaching/research positions hard to get? Is it feasible to work while attending school? Is graduate housing a nightmare? Thank u!!❤

Did you find your time at Columbia really stressful? I heard it’s a really high stress atmosphere but that could be because that was that particular person’s experience or due to their specific major.
