<p>I am from Romania and I want to apply to Barnard College next fall. From the informations I was able to find on-line, it seems like the perfect option, but I haven’t found anything clear about how are International Students handling the “Barnard experience”. I was also wondering if there are any students from my country there. Thank you!</p>
<p>I know a girl who is American but spent time in Romania growing up, and I know another girl whose grandfather is Romanian and she speaks the language.. but I do not know anyone who came to Barnard directly from there. I do know a few international students, but Columbia seems to have more of them (I don't know the exact numbers) probably because it's older and more well-known. If you've never been to a large city before, or America at all, there might be some culture shock, and you might miss be able to go home over breaks, but otherwise it seems like a great experience.</p>
