Exactly how feminist is Barnard?

I’m very interested in going to Barnard but some things I’ve heard about the extremity of the feminist presence there worries me. I’m all for female empowerment and everything and I’m quite (though not very) socially liberal, but when I say ‘feminist’ I don’t just mean women’s rights and empowerment, which is what I think feminism really should be. I mean the feminism that seems to go more into blaming men for everything and expecting all women to act in a certain way (which I don’t think is women’s liberation at all) if you get what I’m saying, I’d love a reply!
