Last week we brought you the inside scoop on Team CULPA, and now that class registration is in full swing, we're back with more information about the site itself. The editor we interviewed was kind enough to send along some statistics for the website, with results both expected and surprising.

Columbia has many Global Core classes that look thrilling, but unfortunately aren't offered next fall, or quite frankly, any semester. In addition, some classes aren't on That List but do count toward the Global Core requirement.
