I graduated from Barnard over 25 years ago. To this day, I am empowered and inspired by the education I received from Barnard and the friendships I made. The classes were excellent, my classmates were inspiring and diverse and I am continuously impressed with their accomplishments - Pulitzer Prize winners, Emmy winners, authors, rock stars, business leaders, entrepreneurs, professors, doctors, lawyers - it was really special. I loved being able to take advantage of the classes, dorms and dining halls of Columbia, and developed close friendships amongst the entire community. Going to school in NYC was AWESOME! For those who think of it as simply a women’s college, I would say say that is way too narrow. It inspires and emboldens women in a way that is unique, and anyway you are among guys all the time - in class, in dorms, on campus, in the dining halls, socializing…you are not at all isolated. I can’t recommend Barnard highly enough!
I’d say that Barnard is a good school. Great academics and opportunities, however, as expected with a PWI many of the white students make incredibly tone deaf/microaggressive comments. Along with this, because it’s an HWC and has a transphobic board of trustees, the environment isn’t the greatest for trans/NB students. You will likely be misgendered a lot despite the supposed inclusive environment. However, the classes are absolutely amazing and the on-campus opportunities for internships and connecting are excellent. (Make sure you eat at Columbia’s dining halls though cause Barnard has awful food).
Going to Barnard was a dream come true. I loved being in New York City, while also being removed enough from downtown that I felt like I had a college campus.
My major was through the partnership with Columbia University, and there was a marked difference between the Barnard classes and those of Columbia. I really appreciated my Barnard professors, I never felt afraid to make myself heard in class, and I felt supported by my peers. I felt like I was being taught by professors who wanted to teach, rather than individuals who were just there for research.
I feel that Barnard helped me become the leader I am today and is top of its class as a women's institute. I also made some of my best friends at Barnard, and we're still going strong years after graduating.
