Unfortunately we couldn’t visit the Columbia University campus due to the restrictions still in place in early October but we did get to visit the Columbia bookstore.

The store was huge and it wasn’t only books. You could find magnets, posters, hats et cetera about Columbia university but the most fascinating part for me were the clothes. It was insane to see school merch on a brand like Lululemon. The brand is known for their athletic clothes and has become more and more popular in recent years.

The bookstore was amazing as it held books of every kind, from religious books to sci-fi novels. The staff was also really helpful which was wonderful to see.

Columbia University was founded in 1754, which makes it one of the oldest universities in the country. However, the bookstore was opened in the late 1990’s. Some might think that it’s a separate building but the store is actually a part of the original Lerner hall.
