Is Columbia College in Chicago a good school?

Does anyone here have any opinions of it or went there? It's coming to that point in my life where I have to look into these things.

I wouldn't be searching for answers to college quests on message boards.

You get apartment-style housing if you go there. Beats being crammed in a little room all year. I'd check into it if I were you.

Whatever you do, don't go to Loyola.

Well, it looks like it is 20k a year. That isn't bad in terms of price.

Private schools that cost 30-50k per year can hurt once you start paying your loans back. Of course, if you do great in school and use it to launch you into a great career, it is a good investment, but if you don't, you're gonna be poor for awhile with a great education.

A large portion of tuition has to do with how popular the school is, not how good of an education you can get.

Personally, I'd recommend public colleges- their aim is to educate, not to profit.
