<p>I don’t consider myself particularly feminist, and while I was at Barnard I found many other like-minded students. I wasn’t particularly “sporty,” but I did play a sport for my first two years, and I never felt out of place because of that. Of course there are radical feminists at any women’s college, but because of the nature of Barnard (being in NYC, part of Columbia, etc.) one never feels stuck in a hyper-political atmosphere. There isn’t much of a campus vibe at Barnard anyway, because, hell, New York IS our campus! So whether you are a radical feminist or an evangelical Christian (…ok, maybe not THAT conservative), you can find a niche at Barnard. I would say the two largest groups at Barnard, if there are any, are the chic, sophisticated city-types and the Orthodox Jewish women. But if you’re not a radical feminist, Barnard could be the place for you.</p>
