<p>Thanks for the defense, Garland. I don’t think Monydad accused me of anything, but it’s good to “see” you again. I doubt there’s any comparable relationship to Barnard/Columbia at another institution, since this developed historically and not from any administrative design, but I was wondering. </p>
<p>A female student doesn’t have to choose between applying to Columbia or to Barnard. You can apply to both. On the other hand, you can’t apply to both SEAS and Columbia College, or to GS and Columbia College. So, again, Barnard is not a fourth undergraduate college within Columbia. Yet they are intertwined in many different ways.</p>
