Columbia UniversityAbout the
Founded in 1754, Columbia University is a member of the Ivy League, a group of eight of the oldest and most distinguished universities in the United States. In 1897, the university moved from Forty-ninth Street and Madison Avenue, where it had stood for forty years, to its present location on Morningside Heights at 116th Street and Broadway. Seth Low, the president of the University at the time of the move, sought to create an academic village in a more spacious setting. Charles Follen McKim of the architectural firm of McKim, Mead, and White modeled the new campus after the Athenian agora. The Columbia campus comprises the largest single collection of McKim, Mead & White buildings in existence.The architectural centerpiece of the campus is Low Memorial Library, named in honor of Seth Low's father. Built in the Roman classical style, it appears in the New York City Register of Historic Places. The building today houses the University's central administration offices and the visitors center.A broad flight of steps descends from Low Library to an expansive plaza, a popular place for students to gather, and from there to College Walk, a promenade that bisects the central campus.

Surrounding Area
Columbia’s campus is situated on Broadway in the lively neighborhood of Morningside Heights. A ten-minute subway ride from midtown Manhattan, Morningside Heights offers all the amenities of a college town—cafés, bookstores, diners, shops, and restaurants—while still maintaining the distinct urban appeal of a New York City neighborhood. A number of other major educational and cultural institutions call Morningside Heights home, including Barnard College, the Manhattan School of Music, Teacher’s College, and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine
Facilities
Columbia offers the unique experience of a true college campus in the middle of New York City. Designed and built a century ago by the renowned architectural firm McKim, Mead, and White, Columbia’s 36-acre campus boasts some of the most beautiful and impressive architecture in the city. The campus functions as both academic village and relaxing public space—housing one of the largest library systems in the country, computer laboratories, classrooms, dormitories, athletic facilities, student spaces, and beautifully landscaped grounds. The wide steps of Low Library—named one of 63 Great American Public Places—are a natural spot for meeting between classes.
This course is available to those who have TOEFL score of 89 over or people who have level 8 or higher study abroad level.
Hello ^^
I am doing well in the lessons. Fortunately, I got into AAP (Advanced Academic Program) after the writing test. If you don’t pass the test you just get into a normal class. There are total students of 12 and 18 hours of lessons per week. There is one lead teacher and one assistant teacher.
Just letting you know, my lead teacher is very kind and professional and knows what he is teaching. But the assistant is not experienced so he is not as good as him. This lesson is based on writing. You read short essay, you debate about it and write it something out of it.
You also choose an essay topic and write it before the lesson finishes based on the lecture. You also get to do some presentations and they correct the parts where you did wrong to each of the students. Therefore, this is very useful to those who will be studying in English in the universities.

여름 컬럼비아 대학 Advanced Academic Prepartion 과정 참가후기입니다. 참고로 이과정은 컬럼비아 대학 어학연수 레벨 8이상이거나 TOEFL 89점 이상인 경우에 지원이 가능합니다.
안녕하세요^^ 처음에 가서 writing test를 한다음 다행히 AAP(Advanced Academic Program)에 배정되었습니다.
test에 통과하지 못하면 일반코스로 가게되더라구요. 학생수는 현재 총 12명이고 수업은 주당 18시간입니다. lead teacher외에 한명이 더 같이 배정되어 있습니다.
참고로 저의 반에서는 lead teacher가 매우 친절하고 프로페셔널하여 어떻게 가르칠지를 잘 아는 베테랑이십니다.하지만 다른 한분은 아직 경험이 많이 없는 분이고 그 수업은 그렇게 알차진 않은 것 같습니다.
이 수업은 writing이 기본이 되서 짧은 에세이를 읽고 거기에 대해 토론하고 에세이를 쓰고 교정을 해줍니다. 그리고 페이퍼 주제를 하나 정해서 수업이 끝나기전까지 페이퍼 쓰는 방법에 대한 강의를 바탕으로 자신의 주제한 리서치를 한후 양식에 맞게 작성한 후 페이퍼를 제출해야됩니다. 그리고 프리젠테이션도 하면서 틀린 부분, 교정해야 할 부분을 학생들 한명한명에게 알려줍니다. 이런 부분이 좀 특화되어 있는 것 같습니다. 즉, 영어로 공부하게 될 외국인 대학생들에겐 유익한 수업이 될 것 같습니다.
처음에 유학이라는 것을 결정하고 어떤절차와 과정을 거쳐야 하는지 전혀 모르는 상태에서 얼마나 막연하고 불안했는지 모릅니다. 무조건 뉴욕으로 가고싶은 욕심, 그것도 꼭 콜럼비아대학교를 가고싶은 마음뿐이었지 아무것도 모르는 백지상태에서 이곳 해외교육문화원이 얼마나 고마웠는지 모릅니다.
사실 처음에는 비용이 얼마나 들어갈지 몰라서 혼자 해보겠다는 마음에 이것저것 알아보았지만 역시 전문가가 필요하더라구요. 사실 비용은 예상보다 합리적이었습니다. 무엇보다도 미국의 학교측과 어떻게 컨택하고 어떤서류를 작성하여 제출하며 무엇보다도 비자를 어떻게 받는지 등 많은 과정들을 한방에 해결해 주었습니다.
무엇보다도 나의 목적은 학교에 무난히 들어가고 거기서 내가 목표한 바를 이루기 위해서는 그것에 전념해야하는데 부수적인 일로 정신을 분산시키지 않은 것만으로도 나에겐 너무도 큰 도움이 되었습니다
개인적으로 나는 어학연수가 목적이 아니었고 객원연구원이 목적이었습니다. 하지만 그 당시 영어점수도 없었고 객원연구원 지원 마감날짜도 지난 상태였습니다. 하지만 방법을 찾아 콜럼비아대 ALP과정 어학연수과정으로 와서 영어공부도 하고 연구논문 주제와 에세이도 함께 준비하여, 지금은 내가 원했던 콜럼비아대학교 International Publis Affair 객원연구원이 되었습니다. 그 과정에서 많은 정보와 팁을 제공해주시고 특히 저의 아들도 함께 뉴욕대학교 어학연수과정에 무난히 갈수 있도록 도와주신 최미선 원장님께 감사드립니다.
누구나 처음은 있습니다. 물론 알고나면 아무것도 아닐수 있지만 처음의 불안함 속에서 함께 해준다는 것은 고마운 일인것 같습니다. 무엇보다도 처음 접하는 사람과의 관계에 있어서 가장 중요한것은 신뢰이기에 그런 신뢰속에서 이곳 뉴욕에와서 잘 적응했던거 같습니다.
어찌됐든 이제야 여유로운 마음에 그간의 고마웠던 분들을 떠올리며 최미선원장님과 선생님(이름에 떠오르지 않네요ㅎㅎ)께 다시한번 감사하다는 말씀 드리고, 아무쪼록 나와 같이 준비하시는 분들과 고민하시고 계신분들에게 도움이 되었음 하는 마음에 적어보았습니다. 물론 추가적으로 궁금한 거 있으신분들 연락주시면 성심껏 답변드리겠습니다
수업은 잘 듣고 있습니다. 처음에 가서 writing test를 한다음 다행히 AAP(Advanced Academic Program)에 배정되었습니다.
test에 통과하지 못하면 일반코스로 가게되더라구요. 학생수는 현재 총 12명이고 수업은 주당 18시간입니다. lead teacher외에 한명이 더 같이 배정되어 있습니다.

장점
콜럼비아를 선택하신 이유는 아무래도 명성때문이라고 생각합니다.
저 또한 역사가 깊은 학교에서 콜럼비아 학생들과 같이 공부할 수 있다는 점이 가장 큰 장점이라고 생각합니다.
20개가 넘는 도서관과 캠퍼스 내 잔디밭에서 자유롭게 공부하고 생활하는 것이 또 하나 장점입니다.
여름학기에는 없지만 봄, 가을학기에는 콜럼비아 학생들과 랭귀지 파트너 프로그램이 있다고 하는데 가장 큰 장점이 아닐까 생각됩니다.
수업은 리딩, 리스닝, 라이팅, 스피킹 네 분야로 이루어지고 각 선생님마다 파트를 나누어 가르치기보다
챕터 주제에 맞춰서 이루어지기때문에 한 수업 안에 네파트를 함께 공부한다는 것도 장점이자 단점이 될 수 있을 것같습니다.
수업 스타일은 각 선생님마다 다르지만 토론식 수업은 항상 포함되어있어서 영어로 대화가 정도되는 분들에게 추천해드리고 싶습니다.
학생들 대부분이 대학입학을 목적으로 하니 라이팅이 과제로 많이 주어지는데 스피킹과 리스닝을 목적으로 하는 분들은
다른 프로그램을 듣는게 좋을 것같습니다.
단점
여름학기는 A,B,C로 나누어져 수업이 이루어지는데 연계성이 떨어지는 편입니다.
그래서 배운 것들을 또 배우는 경우가 있습니다.(특히 문법)
여름학기는 학생들이 많다보니 스케줄이 중구난방인 경우가 많습니다.
반을 임의대로 바꿔주지 않기때문에 시간을 효율적으로 사용하는데 어려움이 있을 수 있습니다.
한 반에는 보통 세분의 선생님이 계시는데 풀타임 티처와 파트타임 티처로 나누어집니다.
일반화하기는 어렵지만 소수 파트타임 선생님들은 다소 티칭스킬이 떨어지는 경우가 있습니다.
콜럼비아는 등록금도 비싸기 때문에 가르치는 것도 다를거라 생각하고 오시는 분들은 다소 실망하실 수 있습니다.
또한 랭귀지 프로그램을 최종 레벨 이수해서(비지니스 스쿨같은 경우는 최종레벨8까지 이수하면 토플면제라고합니다)
나중 대학진학때 토플을 면제받고 싶어 지원하는 학생들도 있으리라 생각되는데
3개월을 이수해야 레벨 올라가는 조건이 주어지기 때문에 A,B,C를 다 이수해야 조건이 주어지고
마지막 라이팅 시험을 통해 최종 결정이 이루어집니다. 즉 최종 이수하는 것이 쉽지 않기 때문에
혹시나 최종 이수 목적을 가진분들은 신중하게 생각해보는게 좋을 것같습니다.
요즘은 어딜가나 중국학생들이 많지만 특히 여름학기는 중국학생들이 80%정도 됩니다.
또한 아시아 학생들이 주를 이루고 있기 때문에 다양한 국적의 경험을 생각하고 오시는 분들은 다소 실망하실 수 있습니다.
(특히 c학기에는 14명 중에 10명이 중국학생이었습니다.)
