We loved Barnard, and now we don't know...

My daughter was accepted at Barnard and chose not to go because she got a full ride offer at a different school. Our neighbor goes to Barnard and will be a junior. She told my daughter when she applied you can take classes at both Columbia and Barnard pretty easily and the faculty was top notch. My daughter visited the campus and loved it. One of the reasons in the end she decided to turn down her offer right away was so people off the waitlist could get in and being a need based vs merit based school it was another deciding factor. In the end, I have to say excellent faculty, committed student body to what they believe in and great location. If my daughter didn’t get a full ride offer at different school, Barnard was in her top three with Brown and U Chicago.
