[@huttbole8312]

Every video I've seen on Columbia is high quality and well done...working to get there

[@nemimoo487]

Thank you so much for making this video! I just got accepted for Television at Columbia, and I think I'm pretty likely to commit!! I'm actually from Hawai'i, so I was a bit scared of moving all the way to Chicago, lol. I'm defs gonna watch ALL of your videos- it's so nice to hear from someone who recently went to Columbia :)) AWESOME VID!! It's so well edited!

Hello, Brian. For starters, you are very handsome and you have beautiful energy. I enjoyed watching this video. Thank you for all of the nice things you said about our lovely city. I was born and raised in the inner-city area. So, I would love to show you around our city and nearby suburbs. How was your first year in Chicago? Happy holidays.😃

In case you see this, Columbia's currently my top school that I want to go to. I'm absolutely in love with the school and think it's a great fit for me. Like most humans, your girl is broke af and was thinking about off campus housing. I've been looking at other subleases and stuff for much cheaper that'll save me a lot of money, but I'm also scared I'm gonna miss out on making friends. I feel like living on campus, right off the bat you're forced to live with someone so you already have a friend and if not there are people on your floor to befriend. Long story short I just wanna know how much you feel like living on campus has affected your social life in Chicago. Thanks:)

[@BrianCrawford]

Hey Im gonna make a video just for you. Im gonna make it this week to give you all the pros and cons

[@coolstar175]

@@BrianCrawford thanks!

[@zionroberts6592]

Everybody think that south and west side Chicago is the bad part but it isn’t that part where Columbia college is at! It’s actually in downtown Chicago

[@BrianCrawford]

ButterflyStyleDiva 154 everywhere is honestly bad someone Litterally just set a bunch of trash cans on fire!! Around campus!! Some places are just worst than others

[@zionroberts6592]

Are you frfr!! Why do they do that wtf is wrong with our city!

[@BrianCrawford]

ButterflyStyleDiva 154 yea it’s always crazy things going on in the south loop just have to stay on your p’s and q’s

[@thiskidneedsmedicine]

[@BrianCrawford]

[@gabedonovan3318]

[@BrianCrawford]

Gabe Donovan movies are a big process you can get on a short film set your first semester if you make the right friends!

[@losersclubediting8217]

I'm thinking of going to CCC. I really wanna go. I am wanting to go for Film (Directing) and/ Acting. What is advice and what is it like?????? What is life like??

[@BrianCrawford]

Its different for everyone up here i personally am enjoying the life in the city but just check out some of my other videos im coming up on my 3 month video here so there will be more info on my experience.

[@KevinLeroyGrant]

Is it dangerous there? I was thinking about applying, but the location seems like a mixed bag. I want to major in a music field.

[@BrianCrawford]

Peacherboy1 it’s not dangerous anywhere near campus for the most part i haven’t ran into anything bad since I’ve been

[@KevinLeroyGrant]

Brian Crawford Also how much is the tuition because I got really mixed answers from different sources. I probably plan on living on campus the first year at least (if i choose it)

[@marathigamer9413]

Can you tell me which courses you have exactly taken ? I think i am Going to take the filmmaking course major But I didn't found someone who is doing or done the same course as me So can you contact me with someone who is doing filmmaking major?

[@BrianCrawford]

So far as far as film ive only taking the foundations courses and also location sound recording I. Im currently taking Camera Seminar I and Lighting I for the summer. Columbia has recently changed their naming for classes for this upcoming fall so I cant tell you the exact name. I am a film major though

[@lockedinsports2584]

Don’t want to sound slow but what do you mean by foundation

[@jakespaceman2135]

Plymouth building is where you live. I used to live there COLUMBIA COLLEGE IS BEST SCHOOL EVER

[@BrianCrawford]

yea i did at that time but columbia actually sold Plymouth so now its no longer columbia owned
