Columbia University is a private Ivy League research
university in New York City. It has been ranked by numerous major education
publications as one of the top universities in the world.
In 2019, Columbia’s undergraduate acceptance rate was
5.1%, making it one of the most selective colleges in the United States.
We visited Columbia University for a couple of hours
and got some information about applying to the University and how you can get
some financial aid. We also got a tour around the campus. Both of these were
carried out by students that currently study in Columbia.
One thing the guide told us that really surprised me
was that there are plenty of really big libraries in the campus. The Columbia
library system includes over 11.9 million books. He also mentioned a fun fact
that if you were to make a row of every book, it would be about 1000 kilometers
long.
The size of the campus really surprised me too. It
takes about six city blocks and has plenty of massive, beautiful buildings.
