Genuinely a little confused here. Is Columbia University actually located in Manhattan or somewhere else in New York? I've heard different thing from different people.
Columbia University is indeed located in Manhattan, New York City. It's situated in the Morningside Heights neighborhood, residing right between the Upper West Side and Harlem. Its specific location provides a unique blend of a quieter, more residential environment while still offering accessibility to the bustling vibrancy of the city with public transportation. This can attribute to the different perceptions you might have heard about its location. Despite being in a big city, Columbia's campus maintains a traditional college campus feel with a clear boundary and green spaces. I hope this clears up your confusion!
