I will be attending Barnard College of Columbia University in the fall, and already the support I've received from the school and its students has been astounding. The community of bold, brilliant Barnard women is very strong, and very supportive of each other! And the unparalleled access to resources, as well as in New York City, will provide me the perfect undergraduate education.
When I think of Barnard college, I think of empowerment. At an all-women’s campus, every woman is like the star of her own show. Women of all colors come to this place to empower and educate one another in the greatest city in the world. About half of the students at Barnard are people of color, which is amazing to me as a young Latina. I am excited to find myself among people from all backgrounds. Coming from a bilingual household, I have learned to treat the people in my surroundings with compassion, open-mindedness, and kindness. Barnard provides an urban location, which would give me the opportunity to educate myself at the Opera, Carnegie Hall, Broadway, or at the city’s many art and history museums. Living and studying in the most vibrant city in the world would be a dream, because one of my many passions is theater and the performing arts.
The teachers are supportive and there are tons of resources to take advantage of. You can take classes at Columbia and you can also eat at Columbia's dining halls, which is fun! But I prefer Barnard's food, there's also tons of good restaurants around Barnard and Columbia. The academics are definitely challenging.
