[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One more reason why Columbia > Barnard [/quote]

They can take the same classes, and are taught by the same professors.  What are you talking about?[/quote]

OP here- Barnard students can't take classes at Columbia freshman year.

FWIW, she took both STEM and non-STEM classes first semester.  No talk of transferring--she loves NYC and knows that she can take classes at Columbia starting next year. She was just surprised at being underwhelmed (and this is not a humblebrag- she was a very good student but not tippy top at her public school and her scores were fine but she didn't submit them at the advice of her counselor).[/quote]
I know some Barnard kids skip introductory courses by placement/AP credits, so their freshman year taking advanced math and stem courses to challenge themselves.  But I think your DC is better off to have a year to adjust and socialize with her classmates, which is more important freshman year.  [/quote]
