In a class in the English department? (Poetry and Creative Non-fiction count!) 3rd Floor has free printing for any students taking English classes !

Columbia College Chicago

The fifth floor has a computer lab with Mac computers and printers. Don’t forget your student ID, you can’t get in without it!

Columbia College Chicago

Fifth floor has nifty cubicles that are as futuristic as they are helpful. Great for interview/phone calls, too!

So much cultural wealth falls under the Columbia umbrella that it’s enough to make an on-campus homebody out of you -- even if you did your training at, say, Illinois Trucking School.

Danny Zeckhauser

Have your Columbia ID ready to swipe when you enter.

Eric Zigler

If you're running late for class , take the stairs . Seriously. It'll be faster to climb ten stories than have to wait for the elevators .

Samantha Saiyavongsa

Check out the Learning Studio . The tutors can help improve your papers, build good study habits and more.

You will be judged if you get on the elevator for the 2nd or 3rd floor.

Side door closes at 5 p.m.... if you need to get in/out, use the front entrance!

I'm the guy that doesn't care if you judge me for taking the elevator to third floor at 8:30am

Take the stairs , the elevators take forever if you are 5-10 minutes before classes start.

Huge study lounge in the way back of the 3rd floor. Most people don't know it's there.
