[quote=Anonymous]NP here. I only flipped through some of the posts. Female Columbia College 93 grad here. So, Barnard is a college within Columbia University. But by saying it is Columbia, however, the person may be trying to conflate Barnard with Columbia College (CC), which it is not. The two schools attract talented but different types of students. CC is more selective, different focus and culture, larger college etc, different requirements to graduate. Most attend the two colleges for different reasons although some unknown  number go to Barnard because they didn’t get into Columbia. Barnard student have access to a lot of Columbia classes. I can’t speak to a Barnard education because I got a CC education. Both are great schools. But yes, CC has a more prestigious reputation and you all can squabble over whether it is earned. I had an amazing time, and value my experience and education beyond no other. I knew several Barnard women and they were pretty awesome too. And, they were proud to say they were from Barnard and would not be happy about anyone conflating the two colleges. [/quote]
