<p>Barnar’s affiliation with Columbia, with its campus and so forth may give it an advantage over NYU, especially since Barnard has seems more cozzy, perhaps because of its location on the Upper West Side, affilitaiton with columbia,a better campus,etc.</p>
<p>However, the advantage that Barnard has over NYU is narrowing but still there. Ant that advantage is limited Here’s why:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>NYU has only became a great school over the last 2 decades after becoming near bankruptcy. The gap is narrowing between the two schools, however NYU doesn’t have that space/campus advantage. Reason being: Columbia has nearly 3 times the space nyu has as president john sexton has mentioned. Many people are opposed to NYU’s expansion because the neighboorhood in which NYU is very desirable. In turn, barnard may not have the advantage sooner or later.</p></li>
<li><p>Afillitation with Columbia is barnard’s strenght , barnard as itself is a bit limited in terms of professional academics, my cuzin went to Barnard , loved it of course, but it never really set her mind as to what to become in life, she ended up doing english.</p></li>
<li><p>Here is a VERY IMPORTANT POINT. It sometimes Depends on <em>Which College</em> you are AT IN NYU, if you are in special programs, and the amount of scholarships, grants, special programs.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Why, NYU has produced more academy award winners than any other university, tisch is very tough to get into, in terms of the arts and professions, nyu is top rate. Its no wonder a lot of celebrities and professionals want and go to NYU. Its true barnard has a some of the above, but it doesnt really compare to NYU. NYU also has the advantage of having about a dozen “study abroad” faciltiies.</p>
<p>Sick of being in the city, you can go to prague, paris, london or whatever and still fulfill the morse academic plan requirements for NYU’s main college - arts and sciences. One girl went to prague and it had the beautiful scence nad area that beats nyu.</p>
<p>It all depends, but I have to say the advantage of barnard is narrowing a lot.</p>
