I
would just like to begin with the fact that I
am pre-med. I don't know what it is like to
be an average Barnard girl, but from what I can
tell, those girls are having fun, exploring the city, and
taking advantage of the many Barnard- Columbia clubs. To those
who plan on being pre-med: DO NOT COME HERE. I
know the pre-med classes are going to be incredibly difficult
in any school, even a public/ state school, but the
quality of teaching and the fairness of tests and grading
here is beyond poor. My first- semester Biology professor
wrote a question incorrectly and admitted to it when I
called him out on it, yet he refused to return
my points to me even though he admitted I deserved
them. He has since dropped his course and is now
a Dean (to further prove the quality of this school).
The second semester Biology teacher was alright, but he also
left. The chemistry teacher also left. Professors are dropping in
and out, and their departments are constantly scrambling for anyone
that will teach, regardless of quality. I am currently in
General Chemistry 1, and my professor (new one) throws racquet
balls around the room, hurting students, and doesn't teach. I
taught myself using the textbook and knew my stuff cold
when I went into the first exam. I came out
with an awful grade. I took a test from last
year's chemistry teacher and got an A+, just to show
you how unfair my teacher is. I have not taken
orgo yet, but that seems to be the only thing
Barnard in which Barnard excels, assuming these professors stay. The
only thing keeping me here is the Columbia diploma, but
now I'm questioning if it's even worth it. If you
are wondering if the school is worth the tuition of
55k per year, no, it most certainly is not. Another helpful, general comment: many of our professors are
famous for the books they have written and research they
have done, not for their teaching skills. This, again, represents
the quality of this school. As for the students, if
you are a girly girl that enjoys saying and listening
to the word “like” more times than any human can
bear, this is the place for you! If most of
your friends in high school were guys, well, good luck.
