Barnard vs Wellesley

[CrewDad]

It’s an odd distinction to draw in any case. That Barnard is “located across the street from and part of” Columbia.So I agree with @exlibris97 that raising that it’s a reflection of insecurity, and, I would add, envy,

The distinction that Barnard is part of the Columbia University family was made by exlibris in post #8 — not me. I can assure you that I didn’t repeat the fact because I’m envious of insecure. You’re being far too defensive for some reason. Seriously, let it go.

It makes no sense to me for anyone to isolate a major asset of a university or college and use it as a negative in comparison with a different college to argue that somehow it diminishes the value of Barnard or its offeering

No one stated or insinuated that Barnard’s location was a negative or diminishes the value of Barnard’s offering.
In fact, I’ve argued on numerous threads that USNWR should rank Barnard as a top 10 LAC because of its affiliation with Columbia. Happy now?
