Columbia University
Welcome
Letter from the Columbia Quest Liaison
Welcome to the Quest Scholars at Columbia page! If you’re a QuestBridge applicant considering Columbia, feel free to poke around our page and "Quest to Success" blog to see and hear more about our beautiful campus and all the activities that keep us busy!
At Columbia, there’s never a dull moment. Being in such a culturally rich city allows for a diverse campus environment. Our motto is, “You’ve got the best of both worlds at Columbia.” We’re a large research institution if that’s your thing; if not, we have the undergraduate schools of liberal arts and engineering. While on campus, you can hear crickets chirping at night, and lie on newly cut grass and smell freshly brewed coffee. The campus is calm and relaxing while still being very active with hundreds of student-run organizations.
But the minute you step out of our gates at 116th Street, you hear the bustling noises that make up this vibrant city. Just a train ride away, you can find yourself in Chinatown, Harlem, SoHo, Washington Heights, or Greenwich Village. Being in such a diverse and prosperous city is a great advantage for students. From free museum entry to discounted Broadway tickets, the resources are right at your fingertips.
Columbia is an amazing school academically, socially, and culturally. If you ever visit campus, please try to contact a current Quest Scholar so we can meet and show you around. It will be an unforgettable experience!
Roar, Lions, Roar!

Chapter Leadership
There is no executive board. To provide the most hands-on participation, our chapter is divided into four committees (below). Each committee's responsibilities are designated in our chapter's constitution. Committee members decide for themselves if they want to have a hierarchy within their committee. Each Quest Scholar can participate in one or more committees.
