Barnard College
- Facilities

A Mish-Mosh

Barnard's facilities are an eclectic mix of historic, ivy-covered brick buildings, 1960s Soviet-esque monstrosities, and award-winning ultra-modern icons. The library is a little dated looking but cozy feeling and the perfect place to study. The gym is small but not intimidating to those of us who aren't body builders. the Diana Center is simply BEAUTIFUL.

Facilities on Barnard's Campus

The faciliites on Barnard's campus in terms of sports are lacking; however, this doesn't really matter because we can use those at Columbia which are much better. The Barnard library is also quite small, yet cozy. Again, we have access to all Columbia libraries which are wonderful. The aesthetics of Barnard are pleasing.

The Barnard-Columbia Experience

Barnard College is the sister school of Columbia University, located in Manhattan New York. It has a small campus compared to Columbia but it has a home feeling. The athletic center and the library is faily small. Every Barnard and Columbia student is allowed access to both campuses and their fascilities. Usually when i dont want to surround myself with a generous amount of people when I want to study or work out in the gym, I stay on my campus rather than go to Columbia Unveristy across the street. Generally, there is no campus life because New York is our main source of entertainment and culture. However, we do have greek life, cultural support groups, theater groups, accapella music groups. What is most exciting is when the campus hosts small flee markets during the day. Students are allowed to shop for nice vintage accessories in between classes. My favorite building on campus is the Diana Center. It just opened Spring 2010 and it is filled with state of the art computer labs and a new dinning hall. It is also a place to host events for formal ceremonies or open mics for the musicians and poets on campus and in the city.
