Overall, my daughter is pleased with her choice of Barnard. She loves NYC. She was surprised and a bit intimidated by how smart, interesting, well-read, and eloquent she perceives everyone to be. She’s definitely not a big fish in a small pond there. She wasn’t expecting the clubs/publications to be so competitive. She also wasn’t expecting that it would be so hard to get classes she wants. Despite all of this, she says she thinks she’s in the right place “to become the woman she wants to be.” I would say Barnard is a great place for the confident woman, though I think those who aren’t there yet when they arrive can thrive - their peers, faculty, and environment will push to succeed.
