Yes. Further, even in a suburb, who on earth goes into a park alone after dark ? It is too dangerous anywhere, city or suburb.
Morningside Park is quite a distance from the campus and out of the way. Absolutely no reason to be there or to cut through there. It is also below a promontory. A terrible sad loss for sure. But this is very, very rare and in no way reflects the safety of the campus and college atmosphere.

That poor girl was stabbed in a park in the evening after dark when walking alone.
Morningside Heights is either the first or second safest precinct in all of New York City. NYC is one of the safest cities in the world, and certainly one of the very safest in the US
I have lived in that neighborhood.
The article says she was walking alone in Morningside Park after 7:00PM (when it would have been pitch dark in December). Before you bother jumping on me, I am NOT victim blaming. The fault for her attack is squarely on the 13 and 14-year-old kids who killed her. But alone, after dark, in any major city, you stick to the streets (where lots of people will be out at 7:00PM) and not in the parks. The park is on the edge of the island. There's no need to cut through there to get anywhere. Even if getting exercise, stay on the populated streets.
So no, you don't risk your life going to Barnard. Just remember that you're in NYC and not in your idyllic suburban hometown and act accordingly.

Excellent opportunities. First-rate academic. Columbia is just across the street and fully open to the Barnard students. All courses are cross-listed with students from both sides of the street taking courses at the other side. The college cares about its students and provides value for the money. The new Milstein Center with its library is magnificent. A top experience and opportunity for anyone.
Morningside Heights and the neighboring West Side have fantastic cultural opportunities.
New York opportunities and downtown internships are just a subway ride away.

I went there. It’s a terrific school. I took some classes at Columbia, but most at Barnard. Used the CU libraries. Some dorms were mixed. I enjoyed my experience.

Barnard is part of the wider Columbia University.
Great options for women who attend Barnard College.

Barnard, like Columbia overall, is a mostexcellent place and very stimulating.

This is absolutely not true. Barnard is NOT a part OF Columbia. Affiliated, yes. A part of Columbia lke the College and SEAS, no. Barnard has its own board, trustees, administration. Diplomas say Barnard, not Columbia.

The park where she was stabbed is not next to campus. That park was down a cliff some practical distance away from the campus. She was walking alone in that park when it was dark.
No one needs to walk that distance and go to that particular park, called Morningside Park, down a rocky promontory, some distance away from he campus.

So if they’re the same why would a girl apply fo Columbia and not Barnard if Barnard is presumably easier to get in. I still don’t get what the deal is.
OP, are you applying to Barnard? Or are you talking about someone else applying to Barnard? If it's not you applying, MYOB.

One of DC’s friends shared on social that she is attending Barnard but the school is described as Barnard College of Columbia University. Since when??
Aren’t they two totally different schools with different admisisons? What’s the deal?
