What is deal with Barnard/Columbia degree?

<p>My D goes to Barnard presently and was accepted to CC. With the exception of the Core, if your daughter decides to go to Barnard, she can take most of her classes at Columbia. The Barnard/Columbia U affiliation is somewhat confusing at first, but it is rather similar to the situation that exists at any large university that is made up of a number of colleges or specialty institutions, such as engineering or performing arts. </p>

<p>Most of the women at Barnard are very happy with their choices.</p>

<p>god people will never ever let this one go lol</p>
