About the Surrounding Area
Columbia’s Morning Heights campus is wedged between three neighborhoods: the Upper West Side, Harlem, and a smaller neighborhood that runs along the Hudson River called Morning Heights. The campus was built to resemble an Athenian Agora and feels like a neighborhood of its own, but don’t fall into the trap of getting too cozy on campus and never leaving. Harlem is just steps away and it’s packed with cultural attractions to get lost in. Harlem was home to such icons as Bessie Smith, Zora Neale Hurston, Langston Hughes, and Josephine Baker. Monuments to their great works of art, music, and literature are on every corner. While in Harlem, be sure to visit the Apollo Theater, the Studio Museum, and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.

About Columbia University
In 1754, eight students gathered for their first day of class at what would one day become Columbia University. That institution was called King’s College. It remained King’s College until the American Revolution, when the school was forced to close. When it reopened eight years later, it was under the name Columbia College. It took another hundred years for it to be called Columbia University. Today, Columbia is one of the top universities in the world. Students from across the globe compete for admission to Columbia’s Law School, Medical School, and Journalism School. And of course there are other draws. Columbia is home to an internationally renowned physics department that supported groundbreaking research into the atom in the 1940s. Today, researchers are at the forefront of medicine, with exciting work coming out of the Audubon biotechnology research park. Whatever subject you’re passionate about, you can be sure Columbia is making great strides in the field.
