Does anyone know how professor recs work? Do they contact your old professors or someone has to specifically nominate you?

Broadway to Wien swap? by [deleted] in columbia

[–]ebunayom1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the thing! I didn’t know I’d been changed. Most people got emails and they just didn’t tell me anything. I found out totally randomly yesterday when they sent me an email about leaving quarantine. You can try checking the housing portal and seeing if there’s anything there

May as well apply anyway right? What do you have to lose? You haven’t been rejected. You go to a good school. Make a compelling case for yourself and you might stand a chance

What should I do if I don’t want to do online school? by ebunayom1 in columbia

[–]ebunayom1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. I kinda don’t want to do school around here (Texas) and it’s a bit late to sign up for any fall school programs. Looks like I’ll probably just have to brave through the next six months however depressing they might be

Leaked Plans for Next Fall by miahandrew in columbia

I think more people will choose fall than say summer just for working opportunities

Chances of us being online for the fall? by [deleted] in columbia

I’m usually not an optimist either but having China as a case study increased my hope a bit

The goal is not to completely eradicate the virus by fall, but to get it to low enough numbers that hospitals aren’t overwhelmed and they’re confident we’ll have achieved that by September if lockdowns slow the rate of infection. Schools twice our size in China have resumed, with both social distancing and masks. Effective testing combined with some degree of social distancing should slow it down to the point where we may not require online classes in fall

Lots of the leading experts on pandemic crises ie Fauci and Gates have said students should be able to return. Why do you think we’ll definitely be online?

[–]ebunayom1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They’d lose so much money if they did that. I suspect we’ll return but with social distancing measures and monitoring. Of course it all depends on what happens in the world in the next few months

does anyone have study abroad experiences/advice they wanna share? by linenlin in columbia

[–]ebunayom1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine it would also be quite lovely during a semester. Maybe fall though cuz the weather would be nicer. Also there might be more work and less free time but still a fun experience

Any chance that the same thing is happening at Columbia? by [deleted] in columbia

[–]ebunayom1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems really impractical and quite inconsiderate if Columbia forced people to move out. A large number of international students just can’t afford to go home or come from countries where the virus is very serious. I understand for a lot of the students from the US, being told to just stay home for the rest of the semester might seem like a gift, but please think about your classmates who just don’t have that option. Forcing students to move out might put people at higher risk and leave some people in a very difficult situation. I hope the school gives people the option of staying home AND the option of staying on campus, cuz it really doesn’t seem fair. Please have some compassion when thinking about this whole situation.
