Are people weird at Barnard?

Barnard women are bold, beautiful, and unafraid. Many are strong activists and and yes, are at the forefront of progressivism to a degree that some might call radical–which I’m assuming is this “weird” “bra-burning” straw woman you speak of. Please don’t humor them by applying with caveats, accept it as it is or explore other schools. I really don’t mean to sound judgmental, but the tone at which you seem to compartmentalize differences in ideology suggests to me that Barnard may not be the school for you.

Rant over! I’m sorry if I ruffled any feathers! I would visit for yourself if you can to catch a vibe for the school, and if you’re not interested, there are plenty of other schools out there that you may fit in better. Visiting and meeting students is paramount to finding a student body where you can find your place. In short, if you’re worried Barnard may not be a good fit for the reasons you listed above, it probably isn’t.
