What the School Says...The Columbia campus is a majestic, park-like, self-contained urban village, designed by McKim, Mead and White. Located in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, the energy found on Columbia's campus is striking and is virtually unrivaled when comparing urban institutions of its size. Housing is guaranteed for all 4 years and nearly all undergraduates -- including 99 percent of all first-year students -- live on campus in university residence halls.
