Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] English  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright There's almost too much to do, so it's worth it to be picky about what activities you get involved in. Take advantage of the advisor to whom you are assigned--that person has valuable info about picking classes and excelling in your major that you really can't afford to miss. Oh, and take plenty of classes over at Columbia. I remember a graduate level writing class with the writer Nicholas Christopher and a grad level poetry class with Marilyn Hacker that were just phenomenal.

I was enthusiastic about Barnard from the very beginning, and I remember worrying if the college would live up to my expectations. Fortunately, I believe that the college has actually surpassed my expectations. The student body is interesting and diverse: everyone is incredibly friendly, and while bright, no one is overconfident or stuck up. I have actually found that most girls are very modest about all of their accomplishments. Barnard is not full of Columbia rejects, we chose Barnard for a variety of reasons, for me it was because it is a more nurturing environment. I love how we have a tight-nit community within a larger city. You are not just a number here, and the advising system is wonderful. Barnard is in no way filled with a bunch of feminists, I'm sure they are here, but as of now I have yet to meet any. This campus is so diverse that no matter what your beliefs are, I'm sure you will find people who share your ideals. As for meeting guys, it is not as challenging as I feared it would be. They are guys in all of my classes, and I see them around campus all the time. Unfortunately, Columbia is not filled with the most attractive bunch of men, but they are around. Two of my classes are at Columbia, and I have friends from both colleges, and we often all go out together. There is so much to do around here, and I keep on discovering more interesting places to go. You can go to both parties at Columbia, or out in the city, so you still get the college experience, but you have the option of doing something aside just going to frat parties all weekend. Also, as Barnard students we get discounts to many major New York City events, such as discounts to Broadway shows and comedy clubs, and free admission to museums and the New York Public Library. As for the classes, the professors are extremely accessible, and can be reached through e-mail, during their office hours, before and after class, and any other time if you e-mail them in advanced. I have especially enjoyed my freshman seminar course. We are reading some great pieces of literature that have already caused me to look at the world a little differently. You can take almost any class imaginable as you have access to both Barnard and Columbia's course catalog. Education Quality: A+, Collaboration/Competitive: A Have a Question?

The coursework can be challenging, but professors are more than willing to help and establish a close relationship with students. The only drawback is that if you're straight, there aren't a lot of options (although Columbia is across the street, boys are either taken, not attractive, or socially awkward). It is also hard to meet members of the opposite sex being holed up in the library on weekends doing schoolwork. Despite this point, there is always something to do in the city every weekend and sometimes I have a hard time choosing where to go out and which party or concert to attend. If you are conservative or right winged, you will not fit in and most likely will experience some hostility. I've heard girls gossip about another being a "republican." The small environment also creates a tight-knit community amidst a large University and city with tons of resources. Individual Value: A+, Social Life: B- Have a Question?
