Safety

What if I have a late class or am in the building until late — will I be safe walking home?

If you have a late class, stay at the Library until closing hours, or are here for an event that lasts into the evening, and are worried about getting home safely, one option is to call the Columbia University Escort Service. Two special trained students will walk you to your door within a certain radius, or to the subway station.

Does Columbia have any transportation services that run among its campuses?

Columbia Transportation provides an efficient, timely and safe means for faculty, staff, and students to travel between Morningside, Lamont, Manhattanville, Medical Center, and Harlem Hospital campuses, via an intercampus shuttle, which is available to all students and personnel with a valid University ID, free of charge. Go to route maps and current schedules. NOTE: You can also download a special app to track the shuttle on the go.
