    I got my BS here during the evening on trimesters. Its good since its accelerated and you can get…read moreyour degree quickly. I also attended in the summer. This is a great location and it was a great staff at the time. My degree kicked open a lot of doors for me! Class of 95 :D

    When I applied to Saint Peter's University I overlooked the Englewood Cliffs campus because I…read moreassumed it was far and probably did not have as many amenities as the JC campus does. With my final semester coming up for before I completed my Masters I was forced to take my last two classes at the Englewood Cliffs campus. Upon arriving to campus I was blown away by what it actually was. If you're a working adult who is continuing their education in the evening I'm sure you're looking for a school where everything is located on one floor. A place where if you need to see the advisor, dean, library, student lounge, and classroom are all within 5ft of each other. SPU is the place to go but only at the Englewood Cliffs campus. On one floor is all of these and much more. When I come to class a few minutes early I am able to heat up my dinner with the awesome microwave the student lounge provides, grab some snacks from the vending machine, or make a cup of coffee from the Keurig machine! Let's not forget about the most important part. The parking! This campus provides a parking lot that does not need a permit. The parking lot is not located across the campus but instead right outside the building where all of your classes are. I highly recommend attending the Englewood Cliffs campus if you are in any program. It is worth the drive and extremely convenient for the students.

    You will be disappointed…read more I have no doubt that students get a stellar education and an "incandescent learning experience" at any of the various Columbia Medical Schools. To work here, however, that's a whole another story. Let me start by saying that I loved my colleagues: a lot of cutting edge, exciting scientific discoveries happen every day here, and there's a climate of collegiality and collaboration that I really enjoyed. The real problems are with the support staff; that is, with people who are paid to help me do my work[1]. For example: when we first moved into a new state-of-the-art research center[2], my bay was without heating. We moved into the new space in October; in May the following year the plant operation staff finally showed up to discover that, during the renovations, they forgot to install a heating unit. Our darkroom would often break down/flood[3]. There is an emergency number to call for any issues concerning the darkroom. Too bad nobody ever (like, never ever!) picks up the phones, returns calls, or even check their voicemail. When I tried to politely bring the issue up with the administration, this is the reply I had from Ed Johnson, Department Administrator for the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biophysics: "I am fully aware of what problems we had the room and I don't need to constantly reminded of them.". Wow... At the beginning of last year I was without salary and health insurance for 3 months. That's right: 3 months! My boss submitted all the documentations for the renewal of my contract in September; comes January I get COBRA documents in the mail, and immediately realize that something is wrong. The administration at the Pathology Department then asks my boss for all the documents again, and it takes 3 full months before the situation is rectified. Meanwhile nobody could give me a clear answer as if it was even legal for me to work there without a contract, or if I had medical coverage in case of an accident[4]. I could go on and on, but you get the picture. Any concern you may have is met with incompetence at best and indifference at worst at most, if not all, administrative levels, making doing your daily job here extremely frustrating. Moreover, nobody cares, and nobody is held responsible for any of these chronic, structural problems with Columbia administration. The motto attached in front of a couple of buildings reading "Amazing things are happening here" should read instead "Amazing: things are happening here!". --------------- [1] Except the two main administrators in the Center where I worked, who are simply awesome! In fact, they provided enormous help and support in clearing out a lot of the mess generated higher up in the administrative hierarchical chain. [2] They renovated lab space, but forgot about the bathrooms. Let's just say that, when we have potential donors visiting the center, one has to pray that they don't need to use the bathroom. I even saw a guy washing his feet in the bathroom sink. Twice. Check them out: P&S building, 5th floor. A true gem. [3] We're talking about toxic chemicals kind of flooding, here. In a room with no windows. [4] Having to deal every day with, among other things, toxic chemicals, biohazard waste, and radioactive material, this is a major concern.

    Well, of course I'm going to say this is the best medical center to visit because I work here but…read morereally, they can use some help. I only say this because I've been a patient at a few different locations in the last few months and have not had the most pleasant time dealing with some of the staff. This is surprising to me considering all medical and support staff have to suffer through classes that are supposed to help improve interaction with patients, making them feel more important and less like cattle. I'm unaware if everyone has gone through the appropriate training and I'm sure they need to offer some refreshers because some of the staff I've encountered have been less than professional until I flash my ID badge so that they realize that I can hold them accountable. I often dread some of my appointments because I know I'll most likely be dealing with front desk personnel that will partake in inappropriate conversation at the desk whole people wait or just not take into account HIPAA regulations and patient privacy. It is what it is and that's way we have surveys. Please fill them out and send them back. Departments definitely take them seriously and strive to make changes.

    I had an issue with one of the physicians at the Medical Center at Columbia, and decided to make an…read moreappointment with this Ombuds office. I was very disappointed when I met Joan C. Waters, a lawyer from Saint Johns law school (where you don't need a LSAT to get in). On the Columbia Ombuds website, it states that they report only to the president, but at the end of my meeting with Joan, she began emailing someone, and immediately after I left her office, I received an email from the head physician at the Medical Center. I think that Joan emailed the head doctor, and I feel that it was unprofessional to email someone other than the president of the university. Also, Joan was late to our meeting, and I feel that punctuality if exceptionally important for a lawyer. Joan asked me, after hearing all of my statements, whether or not I could drop the entire thing and forget about my issue and move on. I felt that it was a stupid question from her, since if I could forget about it, I would have never made an appointment to see her in the first place. I felt that she did not deserve to work at Columbia because she wasn't the type of person whom I expected to talk to, and I most certainly would never want to speak to someone like her again if I had a dispute in the future. In fact, I never want to seek advice from anyone with a degree from Saint Johns law school, #77 law school. There's a reason only Harvard, Yale and Columbia law grads are in the Supreme Court, and where you go to law schools MATTERS ladies and gentlemen. Columbia should only hire lawyers from first tier law schools in my opinion, not anyone from a law school like Saint Johns. Joan appeared annoyed that I was talking about my problem, and offered NO real resolution or any useful information. It was a COMPLETE waste of my time to speak to her, and in general, I don't like talking to those who don't have prestigious educations. I expect more from Columbia, and feel that there are A LOT better lawyers for this job than Joan. She not only wasted my time, but made it seem as if I was the aggressor, and that offended me big time, because she couldn't understand why I was upset. I guess she wasn't smart enough to realize that people get upset when they are wronged. I don't understand what the purpose of this office is. I feel that Joan did not keep our conversation confidential, wasted my time, didn't offer any resolution, and it just left me more frustrated to talk to someone whom, in my opinion, should not be working at any Ivy League school. I can't believe that Joan is still working in this office. I have created a yelp page so others can share their stories.
