[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Barnard students can't take Core classes. I believe they also just instituted a new policy whereby Barnard students can't take any Columbia classes during their first year.[/quote] They can if there is space available; And these are like six classes on: Arts, Music, Scientific Frontiers... More like General Ed - so you don't have a Grad saying: Bach, Mozart, who? Not exactly the meat of why a kid goes to Columbia, If you made it into either schools the number of APs kind of takes care of this for you. [/quote] As a CC grad I disagree. You left out the actual main courses of the core. Taking Lit Hum, which involves reading key works of the past 2,000 years, and Contemporary Civilization, which covers philosophy is the sine qua non of being a Columbian. The freshman and sophomores bond over reading the same books together and it is a shared experience they can and do discuss with alumni. [/quote]
