| Drinking at Barnard?
Do people drink at barnard? How about columbia? I don't drink, but I don't know if i want a stone-cold sober college. Can any current students fill me in?

Not a current student, but yeah, people do drink at Barnard/Columbia.

^And every other college (except for perhaps Brigham Young, Bob Jones and their brethren).

Yes, definitely -- but the social life does not center on drinking, so its not a dominant part of campus life.

You'd be very hard-pressed to find a school that doesn't drink. That being said, I have yet to drink at Barnard. It's always been with Columbia kids (who are great), but I've drank wine or cocktails with Barnard girls when we go out for dinner.
In any case, definitely not stone-cold sober, but it's not at all a part of campus life. I really like the balance myself.

Yeah, there's drinking at Barnard. Much like anything else, it can be as much or as little of your college experience as you want it to be.

like everyone else said, there's drinking at pretty much every college!! i think there's less drinking here than at many schools, but i have friends who drink lots from wednesday - saturday nights; i also have friends who dont really drink or often go weeks without drinking...and most people are somewhere in between

I'm a recent graduate of Barnard and I agree with what aube88 said before me. It's pretty easy to not drink at Barnard if you don't want to, but it's also easy to drink if you do. Also, just an FYI for the OP and other lurkers, there aren't many big on-campus parties here, there's more going out to bars (something I wasn't totally aware of before coming) or more chill stuff with friends. If that's your scene, it's perfect...if you're searching for campus-wide ragers, you might want to look elsewhere.

D graduated from Barnard with an excellent knowledge of how to mix various cocktails. Haha. However, as others above have noted, it wasn't a dominant part of her social life at all.
For her, it was perfect.

LOL -- my daughter got that cocktail-mixing knowledge in her first semester, courtesy of Barnard Bartending school. (She signed up right away and it has been a godsend for her financial -- plenty of work at $20 an hour plus tips -- a lot better than work-study). Anyway... she had to pass a test on mixology and it was fun when she came home for winter break as a freshman for us all to quiz her with such questions as, "what's in a Tom Collins?"
