- I'm Sam Clark with Crimson Education,
and we're here at Columbia University
to ask some big questions.
We've already been to Columbia University,
but we're doing it again, this time different questions,
arguably bigger ones.
Not really, they're more, like, lifestyle oriented.
You're gonna have a great time watching this video,
I promise.
(upbeat music)
- [Sam] All right, what's the best place
to eat near Columbia?
- Hewitt Dining Hall.
- Pass.
- Uh, I just bring my own food.
- Fair enough.
- Um, I like to go to Koronet they have good pizza.
- Oo, that's sounds good.
- I would say there's a place called Chapati House,
which sells Indian food,
so it really suits my palate,
and that's why I like to eat there.
- That sounds really good. Same question.
- I do not need to, I've never been here,
this is my first time.
- Oh okay, perfect, no worries.
- That's a hard one. I most often go to
the Hungarian coffee place,
which is not really going to eat,
it's more like coffee and maybe some danish.
- Right, they have like really good pastries there right?
- Yeah, pastries are really good, yeah.
- Amazing, I think we're going there later.
- I mean, I like the dining hall.
I have a meal plan, but nearby? Mel's Burgers.
I mean, I'm pretty new to Columbia so...
- Okay, Mel's is good. Mel's is good, we've heard that.
What is your favorite place to go out near Columbia.
- Nowhere.
- Library.
- The library? Okay, fair enough.
- Can I say Butler Library?
- Yes you can.
- Um, and I don't leave, there's a lot of studying to do,
I don't leave so often, um, hmm...
Maybe like the... I actually don't leave the campus at all.
- That's totally fine, that's totally fine.
- Boxer's.
- Her house.
(laughter)
- What is Boxer's?
- Um, it's a, well I've actually never been there, but.
- What is Boxer's?
- Boxer's is a chain of gay sports bars, but clubs,
and their newest location is in Washington Heights.
- Fantastic. Are you, it's your favorite place,
but you've never been?
- I've never been, but I've heard, like,
that I'm gonna love it.
- But she's going imminently.
- I'm going this weekend.
- Fantastic
- Same.
- I hope you have a blast.
- Well, the basic pub, 1020, is a go-to.
Otherwise, just some random new pub downtown.
- What's your favorite thing about living in New York City?
- Everything is just close by, like you can just
walk around and get whatever you want.
Like it's, like everything is literally at your fingertips.
- The connections you can make.
- I like the subway system, even though
people complain about it, I think it's really awesome.
- Uh, honestly, Columbia itself, I guess.
I really like the campus and the people,
the vibe, the atmosphere, the Ivy League rigor,
and all that.
- There are two things. Like, one is the convenience
you get living in New York, and the second thing is
New York let's you be whatever you want to be,
so you can like do whatever, you can be interested
in anything, and you'd find someone else
who would be interested in doing that,
as well as you'll find a lot of activities to do.
So, I think like those other two things
which I really appreciate about New York.
- Great answer. Same question.
- I would say the resources, I mean,
you wanna do anything, I just said,
you wanna do anything, you have ability and access
to anything that you can do.
Especially being students doing any research,
any projects, any companies you want to talk to,
it's always here, you can just go and talk to them.
- Oh, you can get anything you want very quickly.
Like if I say, "I want boba,"
I can get boba. I do actually.
- Indeed, um, last question, oh, you guys
zooming in on the boba?
(laughter)
- [Student] 5.44 from East Cafe, it's a steal.
- Uh, the variety, you can go do anything, whatever.
Like, you see new things every day,
and it's exciting about that, yeah, think so.
- What's been your favorite single moment at Columbia?
- I did my first between legs dunk last week.
- That's awesome.
- Well, a couple weeks ago, I went to the Jimmy Fallon Show.
- Who were the guests.
- Kamala Harris, Charli XCX, and Lily Singh.
- That's a good lineup.
- Meeting this (beep.)
- Yeah, yeah.
- Is it mutual?
- Totally.
- It'd be very awkward if it wasn't.
- No, it actually is.
I'm not trying to be creepy, but...
And like, I liked meeting your sister too.
- Your sister's cool? Is she here? Visiting?
- Formerly.
- Formerly a sister?
- Both, all of the above.
- Got it.
- I think one of the moments would be
when I'm spending time with my friends,
and like, you have no immediate deadlines or exams,
and we are just living in the moment and things like that.
So I think the friends at Columbia make
many moments quite memorative, so I would say that.
- Oh, well the average on our physics test
was a 67, and I got a 70, so...
- Yeah, yeah! Sam's killing it!
His name is Sam, as well as mine.
- My name is also Sam.
- All right.
- We're basically best friends.
- Yeah. Hundred percent. Stamp of approval.
(beep)
Should I hold this in it?
- Yes.
- Yeah.
- Oh, I failed.
(laughter)
(beep)
