<p>Denzera, I know you’ve argued this to death a million times, but even the Columbia website doesn’t call Barnard its own undergraduate school. It’s not even anywhere on the virtual tour and wasn’t mentioned on my campus tour/information session either. It may not be completely independent but I believe that Barnard holds its own as an LAC with a distinct identity.</p>
