“Study in NY!”

Overall
NYC is a great place to be in the center of everything new: innovations, trends, culture. There are many opportunities to learn outside the classroom (or apply what you have learned). Columbia itself is okay. Beautiful architecture, (some) amazing professors. The school itself does not have connected internal services, so getting stuff approved between departments can be annoying.

Overall
If you want to study at a University that hates the "Zionist State", that congratulates Hamas by calling them Freedom Fighters and that would dream of going back to the 1940s to finish the job, then you are 100% welcome within its walls !
