<p>you may notice that the thread to which you were referring started back almost exactly three years ago. Pretty much like clockwork, a few newly admitted CC students feel the need to belabor this issue every year, and no Barnard students (and most current Columbia students in general) really even care. They are glad to be where they are.</p>
<p>And personally, we are very excited about celebrating our daughter’s accomplishments as she graduates next month. We plan to attend both the Barnard ceremony and the one that is held University-wide a couple of days later, with all of the students of the colleges and affiliated schools (such as Barnard) of Columbia University gathered as one large group in order to have their degrees officially conferred. It should be quite the joyous spectacle! </p>
<p>Give it a rest, youngster! (I can say that because I have been a grandmother now for just over one week!!
