'''Welcome Columbia Class of 2013!''' 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 information.

For now please post questions on the [[Talk:Prefrosh|talk page]] if you don't find what you're looking for. 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 COÖP if you're really smart)

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

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 other's dining rooms, and be part of each other's 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]]

Gangemi540: /* Residence hall laundry rooms */

== Residence hall laundry rooms ==

Every [[residence hall]] has one or more laundry rooms. These are either located in the basement or one on each floor.

* Check the status of washers and dryers using [http://www.laundryview.com/lvs.php LaundryView]. This website can only be viewed on campus.
* File a [http://www.macgray.com/laundry/cs-laundry.cgi?password=lions&Action=Pass laundry maintenance request].

There are also two on-campus laundry services -- Lion Laundry and Dormaid. The low-end prices are comparable, however Lion Laundry becomes considerably cheaper as the allotted poundage per week increases and supposedly Lion Laundry provides much larger bags. Both services professionally wash, dry, and fold the clothes off campus and then drop your laundry back off at your door. The two services can be found online at www.LionLaundry.com and www.Dormaid.com

== Off-campus ==

* [[Joe Far Laundry]] @ 601 West 112th Street
