About Columbia University
Columbia University encompasses 5,500 undergraduates and over a dozen graduate and professional schools. Called "the quintessential great urban university," Columbia is diverse in every way: students come from 50 states and over 100 foreign countries; over 40% of undergraduates are students of color; and half receive need-based financial aid. Columbia offers access to all of New York City, and guarantees four-year housing within a traditional campus in the neighborhood of Morningside Heights.
