Who knew that Monster’s University was just like real college? Or is it? This week’s episode is a little special. Michael and a friend from college – Mahad – review the movie Monster’s University. We talk about Monster’s University and how it’s similar to our college experience, legacy students, and, of course, a bit of Marx. Just some fun as you make those final decisions.

To give Dominic and Nhi a much-needed break, I (Michael) recorded a podcast with our friend Steve Schwartz from the College Admissions Toolbox. Because Steve is an alumnus of Columbia College, we compare and contrast our experiences at Columbia. A lot has changed, but a lot hasn’t too. We find out how Columbia has shaped Steve and his career post-college and spill some tea about the Columbia-Barnard relationship.
