Hello everyone. History graduate spring 23 here. I love the Columbia community and I’m wondering if we can crowd source some help (not monetary-just information) for someone in need.

My neighbor, Irene, is a lovely lady, a kind respectful neighbor, a former Columbia engineering graduate, former ballerina, former administrative employee of Columbia. She is retired now and in her 60s (her post retirement job was running a cat rescue, so animal lover too!)

Unfortunately, our building (upper west side) Has raised the rent to an unsustainable amount for her. She’s been looking for a while and hasn’t had much luck. I think it’s because she’s older and not a typical roommate choice or perhaps she isn’t very good at presenting herself.

She’s just looking for a room. Her budget is around $1200. She’d prefer a private bathroom but it’s not a dealbreaker and she’d prefer to still live on the upper west side or in manhattan. Can we help her find a place?

She’d be the ideal animal sitter if someone had pets and also traveled a lot.

Columbia, let’s do a good deed and help find Irene a new place!

Is there any club? Is anyone interested in playing for cash? Like 10c, 20c sb bb..

Columbia allows you to skip Principles with AP Credits. If I did that, though, would I be missing out on content that wasn't covered in high school? Is Principles of Econ redundant if you took AP classes?

Hi! I graduated from CU a few years ago, and was hoping to access the syllabi and course materials from the classes I took. I am able to log in to Courseworks and see pages associated with my old classes, however, they seem to be empty. Is there any archive for course materials, or any other way I can access the old files?

Hi Guys,

I transferred into SEAS recently and I’m starting to realizing this might not be for me… Has anyone switched SEAS to CC their Sophomore year? AKA the switch would be confirmed junior year? Is it even possible?

I would have a plan if so and i’d easily graduate on time, but my advisor made it seem borderline impossible and I wasn’t sure if that was entirely accurate. So ya, thoughts?

i transferred to columbia seas from another school so I didn’t start in CC

Thanks!

Hey y'all!

I was just accepted into the school of social work starting in January. I know starting in the spring can be a little difficult in terms of making connections so was hoping to find some other spring semester people who would want to connect!

not looking for gray loot, near Greene please

://// thx in advance!

Hi everyone, I’m currently a freshmen taking general chemistry 1 with professor Parkin and I’m really struggling in the course. We just finished up exam 2 and I walked out feeling really good about it, only to get the same score as exam 1😅. Can anyone give me advice on how they went about this course? I don’t want a bad grade.

Hey y'all, grad student here. Some of my friends (non-Columbia) were thinking of studying together of the weekend; I was wondering if there are any study spots on Morningside or Manhattanville that allow guests? I know there have been posts on this sub before, but now that there are increased security guidelines, I don't know how things have changed.

Thanks!

Need massive help with financial modeling! Willing to pay!

Does anyone know someone that does professional headshots (preferably for an acting portfolio) around here? It can be a student as well. Let me know ASAP

For a Columbia job posting, when it says “hybrid schedule”, how does that typically look like? I’m assuming it means partial remote WFH option. Can someone please elaborate?

Hey everyone. I'm an Italian student, about to graduate in middle Eastern studies in a local university. I was interested in the American academic world as it is known worldwide for its great quality. I'd like to apply for the doctorate program, but there are lots of questions that I have about it. Do you guys know how it works? How's the first year like? How much time a day do you spend in your campus? If it should turn a hard thing for me to find immediately a place to stay, can I also start studying from home while searching for my dwelling place? I hope my questions are too silly. It'd be great to apply for a PhD at Columbia University. Thank you everybody!!

Hey, I'm Nithin from India, just got accepted to Sps Ms in Construction Administration for Spring 2025, was hoping to find someone in the same boat, or someone joining sps at the same intake. Looking to make a few acquaintances before getting there so I don't be the lone guy who doesnt know what he's doing at orientation😂 Also looking for buddies who maybe know the place and can show me a few coveted spots to have a few cold ones with a few good laughs...

Just a girl tryna have fun

1. is the $694 fee on my term bill the "full time fee" that covers counseling sessions? i'm worried that ill do these sessions and get charged something on my term bill & my parents will find out

2. will the health dept tell my home doctor and/or insurance about these visits? would prefer if this stayed on the DL

somewhere cheap but good pls

Bc whole system has been set up to fail. This is complete cray cray

https://standcolumbia.org/discipline/

“The UJB is majority faculty and students, and hasn’t met for years. Students will not vote to suspend or expel another student, period. Faculty will face severe social repercussions and ostracism from their faculty peers if they vote to suspend or expel a student. Part of this is ideological: they or their peers may personally agree with the cause for which the students are protesting. Part of this is structural: they see themselves as ‘protecting their kids’ from a cruel and heartless administration. There’s a real underlying reluctance here as even [former] President Shafik said she didn’t “become a university president to punish students.” Compounding the problem is that while faculty don’t really want to administer discipline, they believe they have the inherent right to do so as educators, and will oppose any attempts to dilute it or take it away.”

Are there any volunteering opportunities with relatively low time commitment (1-2 times per week) on morningside campus or affiliated with Columbia?

Explain.
