This school was a bad experience. While some people here are okay, most girls are very snobby and self-absorbed. The surrounding environment is great (school is located on Broadway in New York) but it doesn't really make up for the "badness" of the college. The only reason I came here is of Barnard's affiliation with Columbia University. If that's why you are considering this school, I should mention that my experience at Columbia was wonderful. Students are very dedicated to coursework, professors are overall interested in teaching and opportunities are endless.

Barnard on the other hand is a school full of Columbia rejects, lesbians, feminists, and people who like to fill their resumes with thousands of meaningless "extra currics." Most girls here are JAPS (Jewish American Princesses) from the Upper West side, Long Island, and the lovely New Jersey area. They dress Jappy, the party Jappy, and they think Jappy.

Another similarly annoying part of campus community is prominent lesbian community. All of these morons refuse to shave, dye their hair a thousand and one different colors, and pollute this side of Broadway with their Anti-men, pro-cunt propaganda.

I am a physics major and whoever said that science and females don't mix was right. This college is known for its psychology, art history, gender studies, african american studies and other "waste of time" studies departments but when it comes to hard core science or math, these departments are partly if not entirely non-existent. (There is no Math Department at Barnard! At all!) The physics department, if you can call it that, only has 2 professors and offers only 2 classes both at the introductory level. In other words, it's total CRAP!

Overall, the school is so liberal that the concept of counter-culture is lost giving way to simple culture of the college. If there are any conservatives here, which I will be shocked to find, they stay nice and quiet as if to avoid the wrath of sweet open-minded Barnard girls will soon shut them up for good.

In conclusion, I don't recommend coming here unless you enjoy watching re-runs of the Golden Girls(yes people do do this here), viewing poster size picture of vaginas during your lunch break(yes, these can be seen on V-day), and having 24 hours/ 365 days a year of female bonding. This school is like the FUCKING Lifetime channel.

You sound like a bitter jackass which doesn't help your case. It seems your comment has been flagged several times, so apparently others agree. The derogatory terms were unnecessary and you should have maybe researched the school before you applied or maybe you should have gotten better grades, so you wouldn't have been one of the CU rejects—as you admit to being and that you don't like.

You should be ashamed for fitting an entire community and school into bitter stereotypes. It's unnecessary and cruel. Also, why did you choose to attend a famed liberal arts school for a major in physics and math? I feel as though you could have found a better fit elsewhere.

If she needs help with her assignments then I would suggest her to read the college-paper.org reviews. I am sure that these experts can help her in getting a good grade for the assignments.
