Haha. You should say "Pink Skyes and Pictures of youuuuuu, pictures of meeeeee"

LOL.

Anyway, the place you're studying in looks so familiar. I bet they did a lot of filming here or something. The admin building really looks like the Pantheon!!!! Sigh. Such a lovely place you are in!

The vas deferens joke is just lol. Limited to bio students. Haha.

how many years of history?

yosie · 1 year ago

wow columbia looks so nice. i don't know if any pictures could make my public uni look as nice as this one, but we did also have a lawn with sunbathing/tanning ladies during warm sunny days. i'm surprised people queue up to get in the library, no one did that at my uni, although it was open 24 hrs during finals week.

nyrac · 1 year ago

wow. blue blue skies indeed. how come no pics of the pinkpau with the blue skies wan? then you can name the picture pink-skies ;)

Kiran · 1 year ago

beautiful campus. colleges in US are very huge, green and their existence runs decades and decades ago. it's pretty much like studying in a community historical district. columbia is so beautifully ginormous! enjoy your studies and take care! nice pics!

iamthewitch · 1 year ago

Very beautiful campus Su Ann! I'm sure you have no problem settling down here for the next 4 years, given the blueness of the skies and the vast meadows. :) Looking forward to more pictures!

KY · 1 year ago

next post pls show us what sort of food your college cafeteria serves ok!

naeboo · 1 year ago

i think most american buildings have basements for use as bomb shelters and also store food or whatever during winters thats why they dont open to first/ground floor. or for some reason, they like having all their piping and electrical stuf in the basement.

so lucky of u not to have msian classmates so u wont get shit like ppl gossiping u back all the way home. and not to be bothered with ppl talking abt u being lansi dont hang with fellow msians too. (sgporeans arent much better. in fact, they are worse haha) this way can have more diverse variety of frens from everywhere!

Manya · 1 year ago

Pinkpau your pics are awesome :) VAS DEFERENS ROFL!!! You're so lucky to be there, and totally deserve it...

booyah · 1 year ago

your campus is so gorgeous :) and i would LOVEE. LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE you to write a walkthrough, please please please please please with a huge cherry on top :)

and ultimate's a relatively new sport in msia. a lot of colleges have it. ALL my friends are in it competitively, but i have to admit, once you start playing, it gets very addictive. and speaking from experience, you'll get hit at least twice before you get the hang of the game.

chareli · 1 year ago

YOUR CAMPUS IS SO GORGEOUS!

everything looks so rustic and gives out such an "academic" vibe. hahaha. I would love to study there. It's so different from my campus here in UNSW, Sydney where everything's modern.

Ultimate frisbee is a frisbee game isn't it? Something like Captain's Ball. I played it in Singapore before. =D
Sorry to be so blur, but what uni are you in again? haha!

louis · 1 year ago

Ultimate Frisbee has been widely played in malaysia too :), if you're back and you want to play, there are pickups in around KL and PJ. The one that a lot go to is at Kolej Bandar Utama, opposite centerpoint, wednesdays at 5 and saturday mornings!

kiasu andrew · 1 year ago

simplelass · 1 year ago

of course su ann! we would like to heed your very good advice!!! do offer loads of them...super nice of you to ask and you should so so so so do it! anyway, your campus is gorgeous and so are you =)

kreazi · 1 year ago

Really envy, man! You got such marvellous campus. Too bad I only studied in local uni. You wouldn't want to know how it looks like, I swear!!!

pinkyboo · 1 year ago

U know what, reading your blog makes me feel like I wanna go back to being your age (I'm 27 now, eeek). You're at that age where anything is possible. You're at a good place now - going into an ivy league, experiencing a new life, meeting fresh faces - you are very very lucky to be where you are right now in your life. I cant help but feel, whoa this girl has so much that she can dream about!! When you're my age, life is very very different and you'll secretly wish you knew how to appreciate life back in your early twenties. Anyways.....I think you should do that walk-through post so that others can get some good tips from you. Its so crazy how you're the only Malaysian in your intake.....I mean, how do you feel about it? Even if I dont know you personally but I'm like, damn I'm proud of this young girl!! :)

sheon · 1 year ago

thats a kick-ass campus you have there. too old to apply for columbia dy, i'll just get my masters done here locally. sigh.

Ann Jie · 1 year ago

HAHA write to me only about US college apps don't write on your blog!
just kidding lah hahaha anyway! i got really excited with i saw nanny diaries in your post cos that's one of my favourite movies. yes i can totally remember that scene! and then she opened the letter from Mrs X right! (scarly i wrong haha) aww you're the only malaysian international? ;( but in a way, that is so cool as well. it's kind of like they put the malaysian flag there for you.

kitkat · 1 year ago

OMG! Your school is awesome! I think you've made a right choice after all! This post really propelled me to work even harder on my application, especially on the essays.
I am sure that most of the people who know you would be proud of you since you're the only Malaysian who got admitted into Columbia this semester. *cheering pinkpau*
And, it would be of great help to all US universities' applicants if you could write a walkthrough of the US unis application!

Thanks...

sieutheng · 1 year ago

omg ur campus looks fawesome...i also want /eye

samantha · 1 year ago

hey su ann, i was just wondering,

michellesy · 1 year ago

Props for Su Ann being the only Malaysian international student in the 2008 intake! =)

How gorgeous is the campus, and the architecture? The interior of St Pauls is particularly lovely - so sumptuous and baroque-looking!

And the blue skies are so.......blue hahahah.

Y'know people tend to think of Columbia U as having a fairly urban campus (not in terms of its location, but in terms of the campus itself?), would you say yea/ nay to that Su Ann, as you have first-hand experience? =)

#23 - Hahahah, vas deferens! Witty - me likeys =)

kyle lai · 1 year ago

hi, it's me again. The pictures are fantastic! I am so jealous! the campus and the beautiful surroundings, the perfect campus environment. you can't find those kind of campus in malaysia. your campus can't be compared to mine. mine's like a factory building, two stories high. no gardens, no gym no nothing. It's one of the most famous, MCA financed university in PJ. Hmm, i'm so jealous. wonder when it's my turn to get there..

pinkshirtz · 1 year ago

Bwhaha ... vas deferens. That's some funny stuff! X) Happy mid autumn celebration. Have a wonderful day ahead.

Gary · 1 year ago

Hey Su Ann!

would really appreciate your advice on applications to US colleges.
the essay is killing me right now
arghhhhh

CraSH · 1 year ago

columbia it is! cool.. i am sure you will have a great 4 yr education there. and you made it! i am sure it is a tough nut to crack on the application... but it is doable....
all applications into ivies takes some work because they use them as a tool to screen and deter those half ass students...
i am not sure how much columbia's mba cost, but whartons was about 100k 7yrs ago. and a 250k loan should covered 2yrs being in school full time then. its a good investment.. so be prepared to bleed like crazy in the begining, but you reap the benefits later down the road.

carolyn · 1 year ago

that is a very nice campus! now i wish im still at your age too! =D

mei yueh · 1 year ago

At least you know your way around campus.. I'm still lost after the International Student Orientation. =_= But I've like another days of orientation, so hopefully by then I'll figure out my way. Or more likely, go in a group and then learn. =D My classes start on 22nd Sept. Then I'll be drowning in homework too.. =(

All the best in Columbia. ;)

jared t. · 1 year ago

*raise my hands up* I want.
Do u mind including abt ur interview all those? so that I can bookmark it when I apply to the US. Haha!

The admin has totally changed- no more Ms Sharifah, Ms Alice and etc; all we have now is Mr Guna and Ms Tina.. WELL. I don't really want to elaborate but this is pretty self explanatory, isn't it?

"grass here is really different from back home.. you can sit on it and not get your bottom dirty or wet!"

YES YES YES YES YES i couldn't agree more! i cannot imagine sitting on grass here in Malaysia! Omg when spring/summer first came around my favorite activity was to nap on the grass at bryant park.

and yes to the walkthrough, on behalf of my 16-yr old sister!

rupert · 1 year ago

VAS DEFERENS!

and maybe you're sitting on turf, which is why its cleaner. universities like to have picture perfect grassy lawns and just before the new academic year begins, you can see big rolls of old grass carpets being replaced by new grass carpets.

ps. i secretly used to think ULTIMATE frisbee was people playing frisbee while shouting 'Ultimate'. How ridiculous is that?

yerdeh · 1 year ago

great pics! made me wish I was back in uni again! plus, the summer here is always gray and cold! why can't london's weather be more like NY??

Hey! I'm from New York City and I can tell you that NYC is very safe during the "normal" hours. But after 11:30pm, take a cab if you can.

NYC will get cold soon so enjoy it for the time being.
Have you made visit to Central Park? 5th Avenue? East Village?

haha now i dont even remember what i said before. cis. but yeah. it's good that you have a campus to belong to! wish nyu had a campus too. now that the most prominent feature of washington sq park's been sealed off from us we have nothing pretty to call our own :(

sylvanna · 1 year ago

haha your walkthrough on columbia university totally changed my views about them. who knew their campus was so beautiful? first of all, congrats for getting in! ^^

also, i'd like you to do that walkthrough. it'd be a great help to prospective students of the USA. =) thanks.

It would be great if you could share with the students. It would definitely help a lot more Malaysians, and hopefully that would be able to help increase the number of Malaysians who would apply and get into their dream universities.

Thanks in advance for your effort to help fellow Malaysians!

Ee Vonn · 1 year ago

Hey Su Ann,
after i saw the pictures of your Uni's campus and read this post,
i am loving Columbia now :)
