[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All I can say is that if Barnard is chosen, and the student introduces herself as going/having gone to Columbia, and it is found out to be Barnard, a  significant portion of people will think [i]poseur[/i].[/quote]

unfortunately, parents also brag that their kid got into Columbia when it is Barnard. Don’t be that parent. smh[/quote]
Don’t be that kid/recent grad either. Some won’t care when they look up your linked in profile, but many will. [/quote]
I don't see why not. DC has a friend at Barnard, but she's in a Columbia Sorority, as an undergrad nabbed a position on the Columbia Law Review, and by all intents and purposes [b]is[/b] a Columbia student. She just sleeps like, what, two blocks further west than Columbia students.[/quote]

In the 1980s the Barnard administration and alumna fought to keep the school from being absorbed by Columbia. They are 2 separate schools. Would someone who went to Smith, but took a lot of classes at Amherst, say they went to Amherst?[/quote]
But here's the difference: Amherst grads don't get degrees from the other 4 colleges, nor are their campuses on top of one another. Barnard is an official college of Columbia University. It's just a women's LAC under a university brand.[/quote]

A women's college experience is different from a co-ed college experience. Barnard and Columbia College are two different undergrad experiences. [/quote]
