If you're pressed for time but still want to know what cool cultural activities are happening around the city, sign up for the Columbia University Arts Initiative weekly newsletter. The newsletter lays out a diverse lineup of fun stuff to get into, from theater, to music, to museums. Not only is the newsletter a time saver, but it can be a money saver too, since you'll now know what events are free or discounted for students. Your CUID card is good for more than just access to the Learner lounges!
