<p>hey everyone, thanks again for all the responses. I have been researching a lot, as the ED deadline approaches. this thread has helped immensely, since the only issue i can find with barnard is the “male issue.” i went to see wesleyan, researched vassar, heard about upenn today from a admissions officer who came to the school. ive seen yale, tufts, harvard, columbia, cornell…
they’re just not the same.
barnard is probably the most unique college I’ve visited. it has manhattan, it has close attention/advisors, it has an ivy league education/diploma at the end, it has strong, empowered women.
so like… ok. on the someodd acre campus there’s no men. but really, men are roughly 2 feet away. coed classes, maybe coed dorming soph year. and ALL of manhattan. i dont know exactly how hard or easy it will be to meet men, but i wont know for any school. i feel the resources are there at barnard/columbia.
so anyway, i think im going to ED. I cant see myself being as happy anywhere else. i dont feel as i do about barnard for any other school. any other experiences w/ columbia-barnard dating would be great though, thanks</p>
