Barnard Featured in Msn.com and Seventeen.com Web Sites

NEW YORK, N.Y., March 9, 2001 - Two web sites - Seventeen.com and msn.com - are praising Barnard for the College's location, attributes and "very New York" student body.

The msn.com web site in its Encarta College Prep section highlights Barnard as one of "Ten Great College Campuses."

The listing for Barnard, derived from The Princeton Review, says, "Barnard is an all-women's college located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan right across the street from the Ivy League's own Columbia University. Barnard's 'extremely ambitious, independent,' and 'very New York' students enjoy the luxury of their own 'small and intimate' classes and they can take any course offered at Columbia as well. The one and only Martha Stewart is an alum."

At Seventeen.com in the School and College section, Barnard is highlighted in a Campus Insider feature.

The article by Jennifer Parris describes the student body as "a mix of intelligent and outspoken women" and quotes one student saying: "If you're not a self-starter when you get here, you will be when you leave."
