Columbia College is getting better throughout this school year. Men are now on campus, new sports teams, the staff really cares about the students, etc.

CC students and grads are well known throughout the state for being extremely qualified. A degree from Columbia College looks great on a resume! Location is in an area with a bad reputation, but it's close to downtown, Five Points, the Vista, & USC! Lots of clubs and organizations on campus, but I tend to look off campus for social activities.

Columbia College is a great school academically, but the lack of social and community activities takes away from the experience drastically for students who live on campus.
Overall 1.8
The academics at Columbia College are by far the best thing about this place. It is a great education for young women. Now, the food is awful, especially towards the end of the semester. As for living on campus, there is nothing to do and it's a dry campus (alcohol free even if you're 21). BTW: They are finally trying to improve the school

I came to Columbia College expecting something completely different from what I am getting.
