<p>“I wonder if there IS Animal House at Barnard…”
We have a relative who was in a Columbia fraternity, D2 reported his house was doing its utmost along those lines, when she checked in as a Barnard frosh. Unfortunately she was not enamored of that scene, but her report was they were quite welcoming- in the Animal House tradition- to those who felt otherwise about it. (Actually he tried to discourage his “little cousin” from coming to their parties…)</p>
<p>You should be aware that admission to creative writing courses is not automatic at Barnard, you have to apply and be accepted based on writing samples.
More on this, and the program:

Don’t know how this compares to the situation at U Iowa, but you might look into it.</p>
<p>The creative writing courses D2 took at Barnard were very good, she reported, and the program has produced noteworthy successes.</p>
