Oh really! Where are you from?

[@christinacascadilla4473]

I have a question about Columbia that I hope you’ll answer. I’m a high school junior right now, so looking to apply October of 2022. I kind of had it out with the admissions office today. They said as a freshman I had to live in the dorms. I think this is ridiculous because I live on West 23rd Street, and it’s like 15 minutes on the 1 train to get to Columbia. They said, “Tough luck, you have to live in the dorms as a freshman.” I said, “Well, what if my parents just pay for the the room, and I never live there and just make my roommate happy because she now had a secret single.” This only got them mad at me, and they claimed that not only do you have to swipe a card to get into the freshman dorms (that I expected) but there was a guard at a desk in the lobby of all freshman dorms, and I had to sign in and out every single time I left and came in, and if I didn’t do this I’d be counted as absent and get in trouble. At this point I wanted to yell a few things like, “What is this, 1953?” or “Maybe instead you should pay more attention to your students who are running drug delivery services and expel them!” but I didn’t think that would help my admission chances, so I just thanked the admission officer for the information and hung up. So can you give me the real-life student perspective on this? Do I really need to sign in and out of the dorm at a counter where a guard sits, every single time I come and go, or were they just giving me some story to frighten me into living on campus. I mean, what about those girls who spend the night in some guy’s room and then do the walk of shame back to their dorm? They probably signed out at 7:00 p.m. and then signed in at 8:00 a.m. And I doubt the college went looking for them. What is the real deal?
