<p>“I’m not a Barnard ■■■■■ (just a Columbia alum), but I don’t think Barnard is anything like what @calmom cracks it up to be. Plainly, its poor endowment relative to Wellesley, Smith and Bryn Mawr says something about the mediocrity of its graduates relative to those of other women’s college.”</p>
<p>What a silly statement. Barnard might have a nominally smaller endowment than these other LACs, but it has access to all the facilities and resources of one of the greatest universities in the world. The campus is only 4 acres, for crying out loud. Of course they’re not going to need 800 million dollars to maintain that.</p>
<p>Students at Barnard can cross-list almost any class at Columbia, an Ivy League institution. I think that says more than enough about the quality of the education you’ll receive there. </p>
