I graduated from Columbia University, and I’m now looking to apply for a PhD in South Korea. As part of the application, they require my Master’s degree certificate to be apostilled. However, I no longer live in the U.S., so I’m not sure about the best way to get this done. Has anyone here gone through this process before or knows how to do it? I'd really appreciate any guidance or advice. Thanks in advance!

Hello workingjourno, For the public policy related to the impact of various extremist terror groups, you might be interested in International Security Policy concentration at the SIPA Columbia University. SIPA also offers flexibility for its students to take some courses at Columbia's School of Journalism. I have not figured out how to connect it to the English literature tbh, but you may explore further while digging out their site. Good luck!

Hi DC folks, I wonder if anyone has better and cheaper options than taxi for transportation from Dulles Airport to George Washington Univ/Washington circle area? Is Super Shuttle reliable? I read this trip advisor page and it seems it's not good. Looking for advice! Thanks.

I lived in Harlem (which some consider "less safe") for around three months, and it was okay. There were 3-4 fights I had witnessed but I was safe. Tried not to leave or go back to my apartment after midnight though.

I also spent around 45% of my stipend for housing, and I survived. Meals, entertainment, and the rest of expenses would really depend on your lifestyle.

If you're lucky enough, you might get a spacious studio at Columbia housing. A friend of mine got a studio and she could even set a room partition to separate her bed and "TV plus sofa" hangout area. If you want to be out of Columbia bubble, I suggest you try looking for an apartment nearby train #1 stops like 137 or 145.

Sorry for the misread. Yeah, I think having an internship as your portfolio could be a plus point for your grad application, esp. if your intern job align with your major. Come what may, related or unrelated, an internship experience never hurts. Good luck!
