 As seniors anticipate graduation, they reflect upon their experiences that they have had while at Columbia. A few had these words of wisdom to pass on to the rest of the community.

"Don’t take Columbia too seriously, that sounds a little weird, but don’t take everything about grades, getting through classes, and housing and stuff like that. Don’t get too caught up in the small details, does that make sense. Focus on graduating." expressed one senior.

"Since I came to Columbia, I’m much more on top of my shit. I think everyone comes in here as a scared high school student and I would say after this experience of being in New York, I know a lot of more of who I am, what I want to do with my life. Just generally how to handle the world." explained one senior.

"I would say that you should get your requirements for your major and the core out of the way as soon as possible, so that you can really enjoy being a senior when you are a senior and you can take advantage of everything Columbia has to offer and everything New York city has to offer." mentioned one senior.

"My advice would be, what I give to any college student, college is only four years long. You are here to become skilled in a field but you’re here to have fun too. So, don’t take it for granted. " said one senior.

"Columbia has been a really fun experience. I think living in New York city helped a lot definitely. But as far as the classes I’ve taken here and the people I’ve met, it’s been great." as one senior expressed.

"I mean any time your just walking around campus on like Thursday, Friday, Saturday night, people are just wasted, and hanging out, and tripping over themselves. Generally very happy, it’s a very different vibe than what you get in Butler on any given day." as one senior recounted.
