Effectively Columbia's subway station. It is on the 1 line, which runs local from South Ferry to Van Cortlandt Park-242nd Street. The next uptown station is [[125th Street subway station|125th Street]], and the next one downtown is [[Cathedral Parkway-110th Street subway station|Cathedral Parkway-110th Street]].

The station is one of the few at which you can change from the uptown train to the downtown train without exiting.

It is said that [[William Barclay Parsons]], CC'1879 and Chief Engineer of the IRT Subway project, purposely designed the Columbia station to be the nicest in the system.

'''Welcome Columbia Class of 2018!''' You've clearly stumbled across our nascent Columbia Wiki, which is a work in progress. Numerous editors and contributors are working hard to populate this wiki with a number of useful, insightful, informative, and generally helpful articles.

For now please post questions on the [[Talk:Prefrosh|talk page]] if you don't find what you're looking for here. An editor or contributor will do his or her best to answer your query with our collective knowledge as soon as we find time. See you at [[NSOP]]! (Or [[CUE]]/[[COOP]] if you're really smart!)

To get started, you might want to read some [[advice for prefrosh]].

== Things to Learn ==

* [[School songs]]
* [[:Category:Traditions|Traditions]]
* [[:Category:Symbols|Symbols]]

Columbia has 3 undergraduate schools of its own and 1 affiliated college:
* [[Columbia College]] (CC), a coeducational liberal arts college of arts and sciences.
* [[School of Engineering and Applied Science]] (SEAS), the engineering and applied sciences school, which is strongly integrated with CC
* [[School of General Studies]] (GS), the school for "nontraditional" students whose education has been interrupted and other students with unusual backgrounds, including students of [[JTS]] and [[UTS]]. GS students are generally older than those in CC and SEAS, have life experiences to match, and live in off-campus housing.
* [[Barnard College]] (BC), the women's college across the street from Columbia. It has an ambiguous [[Columbia-Barnard relationship|relationship]] with Columbia and the three undergraduate schools. Barnard is an independent school in partnership with Columbia, and it has its own administration, faculty, student body, and campus. Columbia and Barnard students may take classes on both campuses, eat in each others' dining halls, and be part of each others' clubs and sports teams.

The undergraduate schools have different relationships to each other:
* the [[CC-SEAS Relationship]]
* the [[School of General Studies#Relationship to Columbia College|CC-GS Relationship]]
* the [[Columbia-Barnard relationship|overall Columbia University-Barnard relationship]]

John Jay Dining Hall

2013-05-28T12:29:23Z

ECH403:

'''John Jay Dining Hall''' is located on the first floor of [[John Jay Hall]], a freshman residence hall. It is open Sunday to Thursday, 10:00am-1:30pm for brunch and 5pm-8pm for dinner. All first year students must have a meal plan, which they can use at John Jay.

John Jay has good vegan and vegetarian options as well as and edible kosher and halal options. Permanent food options include a salad bar, a pizza and pasta station, a desert station, and a sandwich station. Furthermore, there are also other dining options that change daily and for each meal: for example, cereal, waffles, and omelettes are available in the morning, but these are replaced by a grill and an action station (where a server prepares meals such as stir fry, burritos, or chili) for lunch and dinner.

John Jay is divided into three sections: the front dining hall, the kitchen in the middle, and the rear dining room (known as King's Table).

Until [[2010]], John Jay was Columbia's only full-service dining facility, in contrast to the many on-campus cafes. Despite its important role in (first-year) student life, the facility was unfortunately in very poor condition and long overdue for a renovation. The wood paneling in the main dining room had extensive damage and paint was flaking off the ceiling. The kitchen lacks an adequate ventilation system, resulting in suffocating heat in the summer.

[[Ferris Booth Commons]] was subsequently converted into a dining hall, along with [[JJ's Place]]. John Jay Dining Hall was renovated in [[2011]].
==Trivia==

*Actress [[Julia Stiles]] once caused controversy as a student by comparing workers in the dining hall to "mole people"
*Before [[2008]], when their use was discontinued, the [[John Jay trays|trays]] used in the dining hall were filled with etchings containing witty sayings, and were often used as sleds in winter

How to scan documents on campus

2013-05-28T12:19:53Z

ECH403:

Quick answer: use your phone like the tech-savvy student you are.

Long answer: Go to floor 3 in [[Butler Library]]. On the east side, there is a room called [[Digital Humanities Center]]. It has multiple scanners, both for pages and of the larger, book size. It is free to scan, and it can return the file to you in a number of ways, including via email or on a USB drive.

You can also go to [[Avery Library]] or the [[Science and Engineering Library]] in the [[Northwest Corner Building]], but those computers and scanners are usually occupied by people who aren't using them, or by backpacks.

University of Oxford

2013-05-28T12:05:29Z

ECH403:

The '''University of Oxford''' (alt: '''Oxford University''' or simply '''Oxford''') is a British university. Together with the [[University of Cambridge]] it is one of the two most elite universities in the UK, collectively known as "Oxbridge".

Oxford is the destination for [[Rhodes scholarships|Rhodes Scholars]] and is as such considered by Americans to be the best university in Britain, if not the world. Many in Britain, if not the world, fail to share this opinion. The British university league tables alternately rank the universities either in first or second place, adding to this confusion. The latest tables seem to favor Oxford.<ref>http://browse.guardian.co.uk/education?SearchBySubject=true&Subject=University+ranking&Institution=Oxford&Go=Go</ref><ref>http://extras.timesonline.co.uk/tol_gug/gooduniversityguide.php</ref>

As with Cambridge, Columbia has an agreement with Oxford allowing qualified students to spend their junior year studying there. It is also the destination for [[The Jarvis and Constance Doctorow Fellowship|Doctorow fellows]] and along with Cambridge, a destination for [[Kellett Fellows]].

Pinnacle

2013-05-28T12:01:48Z

ECH403:

'''Pinnacle''', officially '''Pinnacle Gourmet''', was a snacks place on [[Broadway (avenue)|Broadway]] at 115th St.

Pinnacle served pizza, sandwiches, bagels, etc. Most items are cheap, and many are greasy. Pinnacle's biggest draws were probably its ultra-convenient location and the fact it's more or less always open.

During the subway strike of [[2005]] Pinnacle's owners forced its outer borough-dwelling employees to sleep in the store, lest they fail to show up the next day.

In [[2010]] on the heals of a forced closure by the health department, Pinnacle became Uni Cafe. Aside from the decorations (and hopefully the hygiene), little has changed.

Hillel

2013-05-28T11:56:06Z

ECH403:

[[File:Hillelbuilding.jpg|thumb|240px|The Kraft Center for Jewish Life, home of Hillel]]

'''Columbia/Barnard Hillel''' is a student group that exists to promote Jewish life on campus. Hillel is in the [[Kraft Center]] on 115th & Broadway. There are 1,500 [[Columbia University|Columbia]] and [[Barnard College|Barnard]] students who are actively engaged in Jewish life on campus. Hillel sponsors a wide variety of programs; specific programmatic areas include: social, religious, cultural, social justice, educational, interfaith and Israel.

==Student Life at Hillel==
Acting as an umbrella for Jewish life under the [[Student Governing Board]], Hillel is comprised of 26 constituent student groups and countless supplemental initiatives. One such initiative is Jewish Life Orientation (or JelLO) which takes place immediately after [[NSOP]] at the beginning of each Fall semester and includes programming intended to help incoming students find their place in the Jewish community. Hillel is also an active programming location during [[Senior Week]] at the end of each Spring semester.

==Programming at Hillel==
In addition to weekly religious programming and holiday programming, Hillel has several unique events and initiatives. Every Fall semester, often in Low Library, the social/cultural committee sponsors Hillel Formal. This dance is co-sponsored by a multitude of campus groups and organizations. During finals each semester, Hillel hosts "Butler Smells, Come to Hillel." The Hillel building is transformed into a multiplicity of study spaces, from social to silent, with consistently replenished snacks and reservable group-study rooms.

==Dining at Hillel==
In addition to food served by groups at their events, Hillel offers several dining options:
[[Cafe Nana]] is a restaurant on the 2nd floor of Hillel open Sunday-Thursday that serves Middle Eastern and Italian fare.
[[Kraft Shabbat Dinner]] is a weekly Shabbat dinner that takes place on the 5th floor of the Kraft Center every Friday. The heavily subsidized meal costs $5.
[[Hewitt Shabbat Meals]] are coordinated by Hillel and provided by Barnard dining services. These traditional Friday dinners and Saturday lunches take place in [[Hewitt Dining Hall]].

Hillel

ECH403:

[[File:Hillelbuilding.jpg|thumb|240px|The Kraft Center for Jewish Life, home of Hillel]]

'''Columbia/Barnard Hillel''' is a student group that exists to promote Jewish life on campus. Hillel is in the [[Kraft Center]] on 115th & Broadway. There are 1,500 [[Columbia University|Columbia]] and [[Barnard College|Barnard]] students who are actively engaged in Jewish life on campus. Hillel sponsors a wide variety of programs; specific programmatic areas include: social, religious, cultural, social justice, educational, interfaith and pro-Israel.

==Student Life at Hillel==
Acting as an umbrella for Jewish life under the [[Student Governing Board]], Hillel is comprised of 26 constituent student groups and countless supplemental initiatives. One such initiative is Jewish Life Orientation (or JelLO) which takes place immediately after [[NSOP]] at the beginning of each Fall semester and includes programming intended to help incoming students find their place in the Jewish community. Hillel is also an active programming location during [[Senior Week]] at the end of each Spring semester.

==Programming at Hillel==
In addition to weekly religious programming and holiday programming, Hillel has several unique events and initiatives. Every Fall semester, often in Low Library, the social/cultural committee sponsors Hillel Formal. This dance is co-sponsored by a multitude of campus groups and organizations. During finals each semester, Hillel hosts "Butler Smells, Come to Hillel." The Hillel building is transformed into a multiplicity of study spaces, from social to silent, with consistently replenished snacks and reservable group-study rooms.

==Dining at Hillel==
In addition to food served by groups at their events, Hillel offers several dining options:
[[Cafe Nana]] is a restaurant on the 2nd floor of Hillel open Sunday-Thursday that serves Middle Eastern and Italian fare.
[[Kraft Shabbat Dinner]] is a weekly Shabbat dinner that takes place on the 5th floor of the Kraft Center every Friday. The heavily subsidized meal costs $5.
[[Hewitt Shabbat Meals]] are coordinated by Hillel and provided by Barnard dining services. These traditional Friday dinners and Saturday lunches take place in [[Hewitt Dining Hall]].
