Is Barnard the same as Columbia?

[Anonymous]

“How” not “his”.

We (DD and I) visited this spring. Terrific place. Very competitive admissions. Advantages of a liberal arts college and a larger university at the same time. DD would be thrilled to go there but it will, of course, be a reach. And I think the OP is just trying to stir up drama. Who cares how an 18-year-old describes their school?

How many times can one ask the same old same old question?!

DCUM obsession with being the self appointed guardian of fencing off certain colleges as “elite” is mind boggling.

Agree, OP is hot and bothered because they feel that neighbor did better.

Might even have a higher percentage? Women's colleges are pretty radical these days.

What’s the over-under for how many posts before a thread becomes about condemning the protests? Robert Reich wrote an excellent article recently about the danger of conflating the protests with anti-semistism. Yes, some of the protestors say terrible things, and that’s inexcusable. But that’s been true of pretty much every mass protest ever. In general, you find what you’re looking for.

No one who is going. To Barnard should be saying they’re going to Columbia. But the schools are combined in many aspect. My DH who went to Columbia views them as one and the same and views his Barnard counterparts as classmates.

So Barnard students shouldn’t consider themselves part of the Columbia student body but Columbia students should consider Barnard students part of Columbia? Right. Gotcha. Crystal clear.

FWIW, Barnard IS an official college of Columbia. It’s not some loose affiliation. This may offend the notions of some on here who think they know the exact pecking order of universities in this country, but it’s just a fact.

There are several colleges in Columbia University. It (Barnard College) is part of Columbia University but it's not Columbia College.

This is from Barnard's website, not from Columbia's.

Barnard is 30% Jewish. Super orthodox communities like sending their kids there because it’s all girls.
