Barnard College Reviews
Rating 3.88 out of 5 482 reviews
Barnard is a great place for people who crave learning and wish to expand their education. It is however not perfect, as the part scene is non-exstant, it can feel isolating, and there is very little preparation for students beyond college years. They are also severely lacking in the way administration handles conflict among the student body, fostering even more isolation.
I loved my time at Barnard. I learned and grew, becoming a confident feminist in the best ways. The school was high pressure and demanding - not only in class but also outside of class. But it taught me to balance classes with extra curriculars I cared about. I was involved as an RA as well as a volunteer on the student activities committee.
I am grateful to be a student at Barnard. I've made lifelong friends and studied with my dream professors. I truly cannot imagine myself at a different college, however, Barnard definitely has its fair share of flaws within the institution and the student body.
Institutionally, Barnard doesn't really listen to student grievances. They give poor aid packages, dining options for dietarily restricted students, and transparency regarding certain policies. Institutional transphobia is rampant as well.
Additionally, many Barnard students are elitist and cliquey, so it can be difficult to make friends. Just like other PWIs, Barnard has many racially ignorant students, making campus uncomfortable for POC. Despite the queer friendliness expected of a WC, many students are transphobic.
Barnard does have amazing opportunities, campus life, and education, but it's important to know the flaws that accompany that.
