Help me decide! Barnard or Dartmouth?

I don’t think you will feel that way about Barnard/Columbia when your there. The schools don’t really function as separate entities. You will always feel like you are at your own school.

And it’s not that Barnard’s resources are lacking. The name number of Columbia kids take courses at Barnard.

As for expense. Well yes, but the Upper West Side is not an expensive neighborhood and the museums are free for Barnard/Columbia students. I know my D went to the Met almost every week.

And Hanover is an expensive town as well.

Good luck whichever you decide. I am a country mouse. But my D would not live anywhere but NYC even given the costs.
