Are people weird at Barnard?

I worked at Barnard for a year (and attended Columbia as a graduate student for 6). Barnard women are varied and diverse. Most are pretty liberal and would probably describe themselves as feminists. Are they all “loudly strange” or “into the crazy end of it?” No. I also think it would be unusual for Barnard women to be “anti-men and avoiding at all costs” since they chose a college that is affiliated with, and across the street from, a co-ed university.

This stereotype gets tossed around about all of the women’s colleges from time to time and it’s not true about any of them. People just seem to regard all-women’s environments as kind of weird and somehow believe the only reason women would want to get together without the presence of men is so they can burn bras or hate on men.

I do recommend you visit.
