| This thread took an unfortunate turn, in my opinion. As for Barnard somehow interfering with the Columbia experience, I think you could also point out ways that it enhances it. For example, I know Columbia students who chose to work for the Barnard radio station (more undergrad friendly) than the Columbia radio station. Barnard offers some classes that Columbia does not. (That, for example, is where the theater department is located.) And, my son tells me that the Barnard dining hall has better food...
Once you are at Columbia, it really does not matter what stats the person next to you in class had or did not have to get there. The faculty is excellent, the curriculum is rigorous, and it takes a significant amount of work to excel there.
How about moving on to other likes and dislikes? |
