I like everything about the school. I only problem I have is that some people accross the street at Columbia College think their better than anyone else. Most of the people engaged in Barnard bashing are lecacy (Columbia College is notorious for that) and couldn't get in to either school on their own. I was accepted at both Columbia College and Barnard. I chose Barnard over Columbia College for a lot of reason and I sure glad I did. Education Quality: A, Useful Schoolwork: B Have a Question?

Yes, it is affiliated with Columbia, and yes, Barnard students can take some classes with Columbia students and vise versa, HOWEVER, Barnard is not now and never has been an Ivy League school. Barnard is significantly easier to get into than Columbia, and Barnard students are NOT able to take the core classes required by Columbia (a set of classes in five core academic subjects- the basis of a Columbia education) with Columbia students. Additionally, though we would all like to believe that we don't care about labels, it's not where you go but what you make of it, etc., etc., just in case you do care, just a little, tiny bit about the ignorant, unwashed masses and their preconceived, half-baked notions of colleges, a Seven Sisters degree just ain't quite an Ivy, no matter how many Columbia classes you take.

I transferred from a large university and was pleasantly surprised to find how friendly the staff and students were. Economics was the most popular major for my year and I think it is usually in the top three most popular along with Psychology and English. Barnard's diversity is much acclaimed and to some extent truthfully so- but still not reflected in the faculty. I didn't go to Barnard because it was a single sex school but in hindsite I really think it can make a positive difference in terms of the atmosphere - in class and out.I went to Barnard because I wanted to go to a liberal arts college so I was surprised by the complications caused by the Columbia connection. Some people are snooty and judge you ( and themselves )via things like the name of the school they go to and the labels they wear. These people should be ignored since there are lots of other interesting people to talk to! I had a blast playing intramural sports with a mixed team of Barnard and Columbia women. Barnard's food is pretty decent if not yummy in comparison to the school I transferred from and my friends' cafeterias in other schools. Barnard is a safe space for lgbtq students which I think is a great thing (a lot of the rest of the world isn't, ya know?) If belonging to a sorority is part of your life plan this might not be the best place for you although my roommate helped to create a kappa phi lambda chapter while we were there.
