do undergrad/grad students have access to the cbs buildings?

Has anyone gotten or in the process of getting their bachelors degree planning on becoming an actuary? I know that the school offers a masters for actuarial science but that’s not really an option for me.

There’s the mathematics-statistics with a few electives that you can take for an actuarial science concentration. Has anyone done that?

I got into Binghamton and am planning on pursuing actuarial science. Was wondering if it’s worth trying to transfer to Columbia and keeping my options open.

Found an apartment in the area and wonder if anyone has any insight into the area. I briefly walked around and found the area cultural and peaceful. Any thoughts?

Anyone else dealing with this? I can’t help but walk around campus feeling like everyone has friends and I don’t.

Idk how to make friends as an adult. It’s hard enough that I’m a transfer student, but any time I try to make friends in classes it never goes anywhere. I’d like to think I’m a normal/nice person, and I have friends back home. But I haven’t made any in NYC and I’m so lonely

Hi all,

Gonna take the M60 bus to LGA on Friday afternoon. Only issue is I’ve never taken an NYC bus, only the subway. Does the bus accept apple pay upon boarding or do I have to buy a ticket or something elsewhere before boarding?

Has anyone taken Language, the Brain and the Mind with Foley? Don’t know how the exams are formatted and what readings to focus on.

Since I live in another dorm I can't check a friend into the game room.. Can someone who lives in Hartley pull through and sign them in for me?? Early night, 6 or 7.. Would be so appreciated.

I take it from the total lack of campus protests that Columbia students are much less sympathetic to Hezobollah and Lebanon than to Hamas and Gaza strip - is that a fair read?

We have to do a presentation showcasing how management plays a role in the movie jerry maguire. We are super confused and feel like we chose the wrong movie. Do any of yall have any suggestions on what can be included and what we should focus on? Can we do any activities to make it more interactive for the audience?

Tonight was probably the first night in Columbia's history where you would not have been able to borrow a lighter outside of Butler – it was for me. In yesteryears, hot people in baggy jeans and European accents, having just finished their essays on Godard, would dive out the stacks’ windows; and parachuting down, in packs of 10 or 12, they would offer you several lighters AND a whole pack of cigarettes. They were our cigarette vending machines, and now they are gone. This school is sick. This school has been fucked.

I've been here for 2yrs now and have always heard about the "mean john jay lady" but this is the first year I have a dinning plan. I've gone to John Jay a handful of times and never had an unpleasant experience with the staff nor seen anyone else. However, I see people catching strays EVERYDAY at Chef Mikes by the lady who swipes the cards.

Now I don't eat their everyday I must admit, but literally everytime someone has been chewed out or caught some serious sas from her. It also doesn't help that she alternates the swipe location throughout the day so people always walk past her on accident.

One noticeable experience was last week when this dude went up to exchange a sandwich because apparently they put a meat sandwich in the veggie section. She said, "HUH where did you get this from?!" Then the dude pointed to the veggie section and she shot back with, "No you didn't, nah huh, you have to pay attention next time! Read the sign!" and its useful to mention this dude was clearly an international student with a heavy accent so I think he was processing what she was yelling so in the 2 seconds it took him to gather a repsonse she yells, "Read. You can read? Please pay attention. Its fine this time, don't let me see you doing it again!" Dude walked away and muttered something that I have to assume was unpleasant.

Oh and she talks with another worker there all the time too who also enjoys getting in on it very often so sometimes people will just randomly have two very loud ladies yelling at them and you can't even understand what they're saying. Anyways, is this the infamous lady? (I'm making this post because I finally got mine today from her 😫)

I am considering leaving a club as a board member. However, I think they might hold it against me and not let me leave.

Are there any rules for leaving a club? What if there is no replacement and they only have 3 current board members.. can I still leave or will the club get shut down?

Hi! I'm selling two tickets to see VW on 10/5 in MSG for $100 (Paypal G&S only). $100 each. Happy to provide proof and sell the tickets separately. They are in Section 209 and in Row 12 and 13. Dm if interested!

This has been floating around for a bit. I reached out to a current professor who confirmed it, but would love to know more. Columbia hosted the new General Secretary for a discussion today.

I’m a student at community college who hasn’t had a gap in education and GS seems to be the only school that takes spring transfers, can I transfer to gs as a full time student or do they only take part time students? This is what it says on the application

anyone who has had this professor + class, pm me, need advice

I have two major club applications this weekend, which will take up all of my time on Saturday and Sunday. On top of that, I have a Calc III midterm on Monday, and I’m not confident with about 85% of the material. How can I master the content in just a few days? It's the first midterm, so there isn’t too much material, but I need to fully understand it without spending too much time.

Hello, this is a relatively short post, but I wanted to ask if Anyone has any experience in Tory Higgins's Social Psychology class. The class itself is pretty good however I am unsure of what I should be studying as his lectures do not overlap with the textbook but I know I will be getting tested on both. If anyone has any advice or if I could talk to them I would love to chat!

For the last week, if not more, whenever I go to the 4th floor of Butler there is this awful smell, especially when you go to the library room. Is it only me or are others smelling it as well? Does someone know what caused it?

as in participate in their workshops/events and social hours or is this just a barnard exclusive resource?

Decide to develop new interest in martial arts, but have 0 experience before. Anyplace I could be trained for that or meet people who have similar interests?

I made a website where you can bet tokens on the next day's Chef Mike's specials. You can compete against your friends on the leaderboards. I would really appreciate any feedback and participation! https://chef-mike-s-sportsbook-6a39a.web.app/

Do Amazon Fresh/Whole Foods deliveries work to the mailing center? Or has anyone ever tried? On Amazon when I try to get some groceries/snacks delivered from Whole Foods to Columbia, there's only an option to delivery to the "doorstop." I'm kind of worried that that means it won't get properly delivered into the mailing center lol and it'll be just left at the gate or something. If anyone has any insight on this that would be super helpful.

Dont want young undergrad crowd.

Anyone know what percent for the econ department is women
