Bwog Recommendation:

Reid is a great place to live during your first year at Barnard! Located right in the quad, it is super convenient to get to class which allows for that few extra minutes of sleep before 8:40 classes. The view from Broadway-facing rooms is beautiful as it looks right over the Columbia campus and surrounding area. Reid has completely black-out blinds on the windows, warm-toned wood furniture, linoleum floors, and built-in closets in each room. Though there is no AC (which is not unique to Reid), this bwogger believes Reid is a very cozy and cute place to live (especially in the cooler months).

Resident opinions:

• “Living in Reid is really great! I have an amazing view of the street and my room is big and has lots of natural light.”
• “No AC, but that doesn’t really matter for most of the year and usually a fan is adequate!”
• “Living in Reid gives you an excellent view of Broadway and Columbia’s campus and is a pretty decent sized space.”
