I would say a kid should not say they go to Columbia but perfectly fine to say I go to Barnard, Columbia University. That is very truthful and ethical.

Look at the logo lol. Agree though kid should reserve the Columbia for employers. When I was at Morgan Stanley we interviewed kids at Barnard and thought it part of Columbia. For what's it worth.

It's a shame if they say they go to Columbia. Borderline fraud.
