Barnard is Barnard, not Columbia!!!

[Anonymous]

I was a Columbia undergrad and took 1 class at Barnard because it fit into my schedule better. I was in a study group with some of my classmates from Columbia, five in total in a class of 80. I found the class to be inferior to the ones I had taken at Columbia. After the mid-term exam, the professor spent a lot of time explaining to the class what a thesis statement was and why they needed to be clear in our writing. At Columbia, no one had ever explained that in any of my classes, this would have been considered a pre-requisite to college work. And when the professor described the distribution of the curve in grading, he said there were 6 As given in the class. I got an A, and the rest of my study group said they did too. Unless my study-group mates were lying, we were at the top of that class without much effort (easy A).

Might want to have that Columbia math prof check out these stories

I can’t believe how much some of you care about this. I went to Barnard. I took most of my classes at Columbia because of my major. They are both great schools. No one who went there cares about this argument, it’s the people who couldn’t get in to either who seem upset.

I didn’t go to either but the 3 Barnard women I’ve ever met were all lesbians. Is that just a fluke or is the college big with LGBTQ+?

One class. That's hardly a comprehensive cross-section of what is on offer there, is it?

Its not a fluke. Of course women only colleges are going to attract a higher proportion of lesbians. Of course.

DD just graduated from Columbia University. Barnard College is one of the 4 colleges of Columbia University. Columbia College is only for students applying to Columbia University directly out of HS. School of General Studies is only for students applying to Columbia University who are 1 or more years out of high school - vets, dual degree students, anyone who took a gap year, people who worked after HS. The fourth college is the engineering college - I forget its name. The degree says Columbia University and students either put Columbia University or Columbia & the school name on their resume.

Barnard is an affiliate of Columbia. It is a separate school with a unique and special relationship with Columbia.

The Barnard-Columbia relationship can be tricky. However, Barnard is, in fact, part of the umbrella of Columbia University, as it is 1 of the 4 undergraduate colleges alongside the Fu School of Engineering, Columbia College, and the School of General Studies. The diploma Barnard students receive is a diploma from BOTH schools. Specifically, at the very bottom of a Barnard diploma are the seals of both Columbia University and Barnard College, as well as the signatures of their respective Presidents. Socially and academically, Barnard and Columbia are very much intertwined. ALL the resources of Columbia University are offered to Barnard students, namely classes, organizations, clubs, and sororities. Classes take place on both sides of the street: in fact, some classes for certain degrees, like architecture and dance are only offered at Barnard and not Columbia College/SEAS. Also, Columbia University and Barnard College entered into an athletic consortium agreement by which students from both schools compete together for Columbia University.

Sure-but compare the stats of an admitted Barnard student to that of an admitted Columbia student. It’s a lot lower. Not to say that there aren’t smart people at Barnard but like the “one class” referred to above on average the Columbia student will be stronger than the Barnard student

Did the Columbia math professor accuse Columbia of misstating/inflating the stats of admitted students? I didn’t see anything in the news about that so unless you have evidence, I don’t know what you’re talking about.
