People are rude and stuck up (teachers and students), workload is incredibly heavy, and it’s really nothing “special”, they don’t provide a unique experience that gives people advantages. Its only prestigious because it’s mostly populated by wealthy people.

People are rude and stuck up, the workload is extremely heavy, and it’s so ‘clicky’. If you don’t make friends in the first few weeks, you’re screwed. And if you make friends with table-mates, you’ll lose them after the first quarter because teachers just love moving seats around every quarter, or sooner.

  1. Yes, very. It’s an extremely wholesome and family friendly place to live.

  2. People don’t necessarily have strong opinions about Columbia.

  3. No, it’s the safest city in America for the Seventh year in a row.

  4. Columbia itself actually doesn’t have a school system. That’s because it doesn’t have a city government. Howard county is the body that serves Columbia with Police, fire and rescue, utilities, and schools. That being said, the schools are all very good. Some are better than others. You’ll probably notice that RHHS or “River Hill High School” is highly rated, but I’ve gone there, and it’s garbage. Take my word for it. All the other schools are pretty good though.

  5. It’ll take from 45 min. to an hour

  6. Columbia is a very tightly knit community, so try getting to know your neighbors. Also, get a Columbia association membership. The Columbia association is a private organization that operates inside Columbia. They own pools, parks, gyms, etc. A membership will give you access to all of those things year round (including pools).

  7. Some people can be entitled and/or pretentious.
