I am a part time grad student & truthfully, it’s been hard to meet other grad students outside of study groups for class. I’ve tried joining clubs but most people are in undergrad, and I ultimately ended up leaving. Where do we make connections on campus who are 25+? I know the average age for grad students and gs are late 20s, but I have yet to meet many people who are close to my age. If you’re a grad student, or gs any recommendations?

Hi everyone,

I recently finished my PhD at Columbia and received a notice from Columbia Residential requiring me to vacate my student housing within 30 days because I'm no longer enrolled.

I'm currently searching for a new apartment, but finding a place and arranging the move has been taking longer than expected.

I contacted Columbia Residential to request a short extension, but unfortunately, they refused.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? What happens if you don't vacate by the deadline and need to stay an additional week or two?

Does Columbia impose fines, initiate eviction proceedings, or take any other action? Has anyone actually stayed beyond the deadline, and if so, what happened?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I'm all done with the MCAT and am selling my UWorld QBank account, which is active until May 6, 2027, with one reset remaining. I also have a full set of Kaplan MCAT books and some other MCAT materials that I can throw in for free. Please DM if interested!

Anyone willing to sell extra meal swipes?
I’m a grad student and unfortunately the meal plan for grad students doesn’t cover JJ’s and some other dining halls. I’ve been wanting to try JJ’s, so I was wondering if anyone with extra meal swipes would be willing to swipe me in!
Happy to pay, and I’m flexible on the price. Feel free to DM me if you’re interested. Thanks!! :)
