This is not even close to being an apples-to-apples comparison. You couldn’t have picked (or have been picked by) two more different learning environments. Barnard is not just part of a greater metropolitan area or a cozy bedroom community facing skyscrapers in the distance. You will be right in the middle of a densely populated, urban neighborhood; the quickest way to reach almost any destination will be on foot or by taking a ride “in a hole in the ground”, as the song says. The people are so liberal that even conservatives hold on to quirky, eccentric ideas like gay rights, no guns in schools,and wearing surgical masks during cold/flu season.

In other words, The City is an education in itself. And Barnard is the perfect home base from which to experience it.

The other choice is Rice.
