Barnard vs Columbia women

She chose Barnard because she liked its more flexible class options vs. CC's required core curriculum. She loves Barnard. There is no animosity from CC students. None. Especially now after going through the protests and Trump admin attacks together, all 4 Columbia University colleges are one family. If someone says otherwise on here they either have a very insecure daughter or are trolling after an admission denial.

They don’t look down on her as a Barnard student athlete for one obvious reason: she is taking up a mere Barnard vs. a more precious CC spot.

All the top LACs max out at 10k-11k apps. Nothing deceptive about those numbers.

It’s not the 70s anymore. This doesn’t matter.

Totally agree it matters and disappointed to see people so aggressive i that way in 2025. Cutting down people so effortlessly. No wonder things in US are a mess.

There was a little bit of friction between Columbia and Barnard women back in the '90s when I attended Columbia. It seemed most pronounced during freshmen year when everyone was still figuring things out. As a female, you'd get asked if you're Barnard or Columbia. FWIW all the Barnard women I knew were very proud to attend a women's college. Also agree with PP who mentioned the Core. That's a huge piece to the Columbia side/identity.
