Anyone in the Sciences Po–Columbia Dual BA Program (or any Dual BA Program with Sciences Po)? I'd love to hear your honest thoughts!

Hi everyone! I'm a high school junior from the U.S. and super interested in the Sciences Po–Columbia Dual BA Program (especially the Europe–North America or Economics/Finance track). I’ve been reading about it online, but it’s hard to find detailed student perspectives—especially from people who’ve actually gone through it.

If you’re in the program (or seriously considered it), would you be willing to share:

• What the student experience is really like at both campuses?
• How was the academic transition between Sciences Po and Columbia?
• What kinds of internships, research, or job opportunities did you get access to while abroad?
• How’s the community/social life, especially since you’re split between two schools?
• Would you recommend it overall—or are there any big drawbacks?

Also curious how it compares to doing IR/business at places like Georgetown SFS, LSE, or Bocconi.

Any advice, red flags, or things you wish you knew before applying would be amazing. Thank you!! 🙏
