<p>I would also potentially suffer socially if I attended Barnard. I would be so preoccupied with earning money while simultaneously retaining a high GPA for law/grad school admissions that I wouldn’t have much time to relax or socialize. I really do love Barnard and could see myself making this sacrifice, but again I write this from the comforts of my Los Angeles home surrounded by my friends and family. In a situation where my parents are both 6 hours away and about $600 away, I’m not sure I would be so happy. I feel as though I’m compromising so much by going to UCSB, but hopefully I’ll be able to make peace with my decision eventually. If only Barnard had a grad school…</p>
