| Barnard is a Columbia Affiliate, here's what constitutes their relationship:
what seperates them:
1)you can apply to both, get admitted to one and rejected from the other.
2)your degree does say Barnard so, if for whatever reason you want to, you can't hide the fact that you go to barnard instead of cc/seas
3)there are different requirements for barnard academics
4)There are two seperate presidents, Shapiro for Barnard College, Bollinger for Columbia university.
5) Housing and disciplinary action is seperate, although there are cases both in which a columbia kid lives in barnard housing and vice versa, (the latter occurs less frequently). Barnard and Columbia students need to be signed into the other's residence halls like any other visitor.
6) Barnard has its own seperate campus across the street, and is not a coed school.
what connects them:
1)your degree says columbia university, Barnard College.
2) you can take columbia classes in large numbers.
3) ECs overlap - clubs, sports teams et al.
4) You can eat at and use campus facilities (such as the gyms and computer labs) of both campuses. |
