Please Share: Advice, Tips, and Suggestions for Making the Most of Your Time at Columbia

From NYC songs for a forthcoming playlist to your "only in New York" moments, we want to hear from you to help inform our back-to-school guide.

July 31, 2025

We're updating our annual back-to-school guide for Columbians, new and returning. We want to hear from you, the people who know Columbia best, about your insider tips and tricks for making the most of your time here and having some good fun while doing it. 

We'll share your suggestions in upcoming stories, or we might just follow up for an interview. We're particularly interested in hearing your "only in New York" experiences—things that, well, just wouldn't have happened anywhere else.
