| Well, I come from an immigrant family and when talking to relatives in my native country, I find that I generally have to provide more detail shortly after saying that I'll be attending Barnard College next fall. I go with explaining it as the "women's college of Columbia University."
Some of you disagree with the validity of this statement also, but when most people ask, they really just want to know where your college is and whether it's academically challenging, not the peculiarities of the Barnard-College relationship. Just my two cents. |
