@SEAS-er We need Barnard because talking to CC girls with sticks up their butts all day would be awful.
That and they offer a ton of facilities and opportunities, as previously mentioned. Hardly a “backdoor” if you look at the class requirements and admissions standards.
@avery houses the graduate school of architecture, planning, and preservation. they don’t have any arrangements for undergraduate study.
undergraduate study of architecture is through a department that columbia and barnard jointly house. first year studios and the offices and computer lab are in barnard hall. design studios are in the basement of schermerhorn.
@that barnard article is the most incoherent piece of shit i’ve read at columbia. it’s so here-and-there, i’m shocked that the spectator actually chose to publish that.
@ack “According to a 1982 Time Magazine article, when the current relationship between Barnard and Columbia was agreed upon, the new arrangement was flouted as the “best of all possible non-unions.”
-Strong Barnard Women article
Barnard’s great. Columbia’s great. Illiterate writers and the copy-editors who do not pick up their errors are NOT GREAT.
@Barnard Women should learn to use a little writing device called “the Paragraph”
On another note, lets take a moment to realize that the “7 sister colleges” are going co-ed or shutting down one by one. Its time Columbia just used a little more eminent domain and took over.
@stupid Barnard womyn Really? I’ve yet to hear anything about Wellesley, Holyoke, Bryn Mawr or Smith going coed. Or disappearing.
There are many benefits to a single sex education: the obvious classroom freedom, comfort in terms of dorm living, and yes, as cliche as it sounds, empowering environment.
We also get internship grants, personal attention from advisors and the feeling that the administration actually cares that we go here. But
obviously you wouldn’t recognize any of that. It’s a shame your superiority complex has taken up so much of your conscious thought that you’re unable to produce any kind of rational thought.
Damn. I love Columbia and everything, but some of ya’ll bitches drive me crazy.
@Chuck Chas’ article is certainly convinced that small-government conservatives ought to be busy hating gay people… why the hell don’t more people think that’s an irrational attitude? I’m still waiting for the Republican that proposes arming the gays…
@Freakin Freshmen Am I going to have to hear about this Barnard/Columbia relationship the entire time I’m here? Someone is always complaining about our “complex” relationship, don’t they get it… someone just like you said the same thing last year. So just drop it.
@Tired no, it never stops. I really, really, hate it when naive know it all freshmen take up the ‘barnard question’ every year. its like groundhogs day.
@I totally agree Columbia gets WAY more than just “monetary” benefits. Barnard offers us free services that would normally require a trip downtown and at least $20 for the entire night.

@The Barnard article as seen in the hard copy of the Spect is split into paragraphs.
@what the hell (as previously stated) learn how to separate ideas into PARAGRAPHS.
and isn’t avery the better architecture school?

@huh? seems like he’s saying that hagel gets good marks despite being ok with civil unions at the state level. It’s just poorly-worded on his part.
@Hmm good point. Withdrawn as a criticism of Chas (although not everyone else in the country)…
@yo man chas carey, good writer!
@actually chas’ article was really boring. since when is boring considered good writing?
@what? …you expect heartbreak, scandal, and explosions every time you open the Spec? It was relevant and well-researched. That makes for good writing.

@yes, yes you will. you just tune it out after a while.

@come on... That comment was really uncalled for.
@and yet so funny
