Each April, Columbia holds Days on Campus, a weekend long event designed to give admitted students and their families a taste of the university atmosphere. While many other schools host similar events for prospective students, surprisingly, the unimaginative term for the event is used only by Columbia University, a Google search did not yield any other universities.

Activities

Days on Campus organizes residence hall tours, overviews of the neighborhood (Morningside Heights), class sit-ins, academic panels, student group performances, a nighttime bus tour of NYC, an activities fair, free food, and a free t-shirt for you to wear when you forget to do laundry.

Columbia offers students the option of staying the weekend in one of the residence halls with a current undergraduate, usually a member of the Undergraduate Recruitment Committee. This is a good opportunity to meet future friends and get a glimpse of Columbia student life from the inside.
