Personally, I have not run into any of this said “tension” between Barnard and Columbia girls. I’m sure it exists, but it’s not something that you’ll find everywhere you turn.

As far as how common it is to take most of your classes at Columbia…

You’re required to take First Year English and First Year Seminar at Barnard and you can’t take any CU core classes. Other than that - it’s up to you. When I register for classes, I look for the professor and the subject matter, then I see the location. I’ve only been here for 2 semesters, and each semester I’ve had 1 class at Columbia. I know people who have had 2 or 3, and people who have had none.

Here’s an interesting example:
I’m in a rather big lecture class at CU this semester, and in my 15 people discussion section, all the girls but 1 are from Barnard. The first day of section when we introduced ourselves, I was rather shocked by this, but no one else seemed to care at all.
