“My favorite thing about Barnard is how it offers unlimited, unexpected, and unbelievable opportunities. Barnard students can not only choose from an extensive selection of classes with esteemed faculty at Barnard and Columbia, but in the classes students are encouraged to form relationships with their professors. Barnard consistently hosts the best and the brightest speakers and programs that supplement students’ coursework. The extracurricular, academic, and professional opportunities from living in New York City are also endless. However, perhaps the greatest opportunity of all at Barnard is the experience of being a part of an incredible group of women who are changing the world.”

High school: New Trier Township High School
Activities: LateNite Theatre Anthology, Clay Collective, New Student Orientation Program for transfer students
Internships: Intern with the Manager and Curator of the Costume Collection at the Chicago History Museum, and the Education Department at the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum in New York “Barnard’s campus is incredible because it is home to an intimate community which proudly echoes the vitality and energy of the city around it. The college, in every sense, is not content to be an island—a four year enclosed haven for the bookworm academic or an institution which relies on tradition and habit. Rather, Barnard and its students thrive off of the dynamism of New York City. Students are urged to break the metaphoric walls of an institution, and to incorporate the wealth of culture and vibrancy which New York breathes into both their academic and non-academic endeavors. It is an opportunity not all college students are afforded.” |

“I chose Barnard for its multiple personalities! Barnard represents the best of many worlds: the women’s college world, the small college world, the large university world, the quiet campus world, the artistic world, the scientific world, and the ‘world’ that is New York City. The College is composed of so many strikingly different elements, and I loved that it could be all of these things at once.”
