Well, here is a little surprise for you! We decided to stop by Columbia after all. We aren't in New York all the time and we figured since we were close and we were going to apply anyway, it was worth swinging by to see it. It turns out that the campus was beautiful and the staff was friendly! We are definitely glad we came. The adviser that we spoke with was incredibly helpful was so accessible, especially in comparison to the other Ivy League School we visited. Thecampus is rather large, especially since it includes the Undergraduate campus, but after a little bit of a walk we found everything and had a great little tour. It's also located next to Harlem, which has quite a bit of history. We continued from here to find a good pizza joint and we found John's Pizzeria down by Time Square. It was quite good! The rest of the afternoon was spent walking around and finding all the good tourist locations like 5th Avenue, Rockefeller Center, and Central Park. For the evening, we decided to venture all the way down to Coney Island! It was a really great night. Brandon and I rode the Cyclone, one of America's oldest roller coasters and we all indulged in one of Nathan's hot dogs. As we headed back to the metro station, Jim got caught in a broken pier board and now has a bit of a swollen knee, but other than that it was a great day and overall great weekend in NYC!
