Ello I did the Liberal Arts Intensive last summer. It was the best experience of my life as I met dozens of girls from all over the world (my roommate came from Switzerland and had the coolest clothes, snacks, and shampoo.) Much like the Summer in the City Program, the Intensive offers you as much freedom as possible. Yeah you have classes, but it’s not like your dorm is the only place to do homework. If you’re daring, much like me, you’d take the subway all over town and find the Starbucks with the most comfortable chairs.

Aside from the independence you’re granted here in NYC and while at Barnard, it’s important to consider the credibility of Barnard administration. The professors, RAs, and other staff members are extremely welcoming. The students here are expressive, very intelligent, and dedicated to their work. Of course, I was only here for one week (the Intensive is one-week and MUCH more affordable than other Barnard precollege programs) but I live in NJ and it’s a 20 minute commute to NYC, so sometimes I visit Barnard and talk to current students.

Enjoy yourself during the 4-week program. Take advantage of all the cool stores, the time you have to explore (but most importantly the time you need to study) and get as much information as possible from current students. If you have any questions about my experience at the program, ask me!
