From the Lion's Mouth

“Columbia classes teach you how to think and learn. With so many distinguished faculty members on campus, we’re exposed to many different ways of thinking and teaching styles. Absorbing those and incorporating them into my everyday learning is probably the most important thing I have learned during my years here.”
