Hi,
I was recently accepted to Barnard as a transfer student. I love the school and New York City but I was hoping some current or former Barnard transfer students could comment on their experiences as transfers. I have heard mixed reviews about the ease of integration into the Barnard/Columbia community.
What is life like at Barnard? Are students able to explore NYC often? Are students always stressed or is there good work-life balance? Is adjusting to life in New York difficult?
I also have a question about the lesbian community at Barnard- is there a large presence or noticeable presence, outside of niche gay groups? If you had to estimate, what percentage of the student body?
Any information would really help me out! Thank you!
