Don’t Believe Their Lies!

Columbia Spectator writer Grace Chan goes deep undercover as a prospective student to determine how truthful the Ivy League university’s student tours are:

New York papers have found that some 70-80 percent of facts reported on New York bus tours are patently false, which led Spectator to wonder: what about Columbia tours? To investigate, I went undercover as a high school junior for two Barnard tours and two Columbia tours to see for myself.

As it turns out, royalties from Ghostbusters are not, in fact, used to resod Columbia’s South Lawn, George Bush has no plans to visit the campus and, unless Princeton and Dartmouth are lying, Columbia is probably not the safest Ivy League school. (Chan notes that Yale also claims to be the safest Ivy, but they are obviously lying.)
