When I think of Columbia, I think of Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse because, just as Siddhartha experiences extremes before understanding the whole of existence, Columbians have their knowledge stretched between two polar opposites before realizing themselves.
When I embarked upon reading Gateway to the Great Books, I learned that it was just the prelude of a project started in Columbia. However, unlike most schools with a strong humanities department, it’s also excellent in STEM subjects. In fact, it leads in patent research. With more professors and a team to work with, I want to investigate new technologies like I have previously done with my sister.
One perfect example of how Columbia weaves both past and future is through online courses.
