Undergraduate / the multifaceted education delivered, Columbia Short Answer (Why CU?) [5]

Hello everyone, I am struggling to answer
"What appeals most to Columbia to you and Why?" in 600 characters. I would like to say that their education in conjunction to NY yields lots of opportunities. Please review this short answer and I will be very grateful!

Thanks

When I imagine Columbia University, I don't visualize the beautiful Alma Mater or Nobel Laureates lecturing. I do not vision the research labs that split the first uranium atom or a debate team ranked 22nd in the world. I envision the long, multitude of pillars which erect the Lowe Memorial Library. Like my interests, these pillars extend to great heights and hold much weight. They resemble the strength of my ardor for debate, vigor for research, and most importantly, desire to attend Columbia University, where I may discover my passions in a lecture, and pursue them in a city such as New York.

Thank You!
