What is your favorite Barnard tradition? I love Midnight Breakfast, an evening celebration that the entire campus enjoys right before final examinations begin. Faculty and professors return to campus in the late hours to serve us breakfast as they chat with us and wish us good luck on our exams. It’s a great Barnard tradition that reminds us that the College’s administration is concerned with our well-being and recognizes the hard work that we do all semester long. And, it’s so much fun to relax with friends before the finals season swings into full gear.
What one piece of advice would you give to a prospective student? I would tell a prospective student to worry less about fulfilling requirements quickly or bringing the right winter clothes and more about making their time on campus meaningful. Four years on campus is a long time, certainly plenty of time to participate in interesting extracurricular activities, explore NYC, and nurture fabulous friendships. Take your time, and your life on campus will fall into place. You might even have some adventures along the way.
