<p>I think it would be somewhat deceptive, but I don’t see that as the biggest problem. Most Barnard women are fiercely proud of their school and don’t want to be across the street. My D certainly didn’t. She mentions Columbia only when someone has absolutely not heard of Barnard. I think your D’s attitude might put her at odds with her peers. I don’t think it’s the best idea to grudgingly attend Barnard to pretend she’s at Columbia. What are her other choices?</p>
