Collegekid -

Are you sure you don’t go to Barnard? In one of your previous posts, you stated, “i am a freshman at barnard, and i am a native californian looking to possibly transfer somewhere closer to home (hopefully cmc!)”

I don’t think the “which is more prestigious?” argument will get you anywhere. Some people will have only heard of Wellesley, some only Barnard, and a whole lot of people will respect both of them.

While I did pick up that “second class citizen” feeling, I don’t know if it’s true, since I’ve obviously never attended Barnard. Socially, I’m sure it is nice to have guys right across the street. However, one thing I really like about Wellesley is that it completely caters to Wellesley women, and I don’t think the same can be said of Barnard/Columbia.

“most people who go to all girls schools are fairly strange”…Hm, I don’t know what to make of that. Since, from earlier posts, it seems you go to a Women’s College, are you commenting on your own experience? From what I’ve seen from looking into all of the still-existent Seven Sisters, there are some “strange” women, but there are at any school. Overall, most of the women, at ALL the Women’s Colleges, seem pretty amazing.
