What’s your favorite thing about the Columbia College campus?

I love how walkable everything is. Being able to walk from one destination to another makes the campus feel like a home environment, with beautiful gardens everywhere to enjoy and relax in. It offers the opportunity to get closer to classmates, faculty, and staff members.
