Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Looks rate very low on the priority list for girls at Barnard. Some people will come to class in an outfit very similar to the one they wore to bed the night before. When sleep is precious, and you’re not trying to impress anyone, then what you wear to class doesn’t matter. Other people, however, might show up in a dress and heels to class. This usually isn’t because they want to look good, but usually because they have a fantastic interview downtown that they need to look the part for. The main theme for Barnard girls is that they don’t try to look a certain way for look’s sake, but rather for the weather, for a job, or because they’re tired and they’re going right back to sleep after class.

As far as strict looks go, there are some truly beautiful women that attend Barnard. The dancers in particular are usually quite gorgeous. However, there are quite a few more that aren’t so aesthetically blessed. Barnard is a college to be yourself; so even the ugliest of ducklings wouldn’t feel left out because they don’t have flawless skin or straight, gleaming teeth. People might come to Barnard for a lot of things, but they don’t come to run with a crowd of supermodels. It’s not that Barnard women aren’t attractive; it’s that they realize how many things are more important than their appearance. They’re in college to expand their minds, not spend every minute fixing their hair and looking in the mirror.  There's a casually tossed around  catchphrase that each student  is a  "strong, beautiful, Barnard woman."  This statement actually makes looks less of an issue by serving as a confidence-booster.   In fact, confidence is one of the most important  things Barnard students gain during their time here.

Guys & Girls at Barnard College

It's College.

First of all, it's college. You're not going to find a boyfriend/girlfriend the first week you get here, or probably at all your first year, though some do. There's a lot of sleazy bars/"night clubs" (if you can call them that) where people hook up. Guys invite girls back to their rooms, and there's mostly just a lot of random hookups.

As for the people, the girls at Barnard really aren't that bad. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of freaks (like a lot actually, and the lesbian thing is not a rumor) but there are plenty of really hot girls here too. When it comes to guys: a lot of asians and some cute athletes.

Basically, some very unattractive people, but not anymore than the rest of the world, but some very hot people at this school.

Pretentious

Everyone has to look great here at Barnard or else you're sort of an outcast. Obviously Barnard is an all women's college therefore there aren't any guys but Columbia is right across the street. There are some really attractive guys at Columbia.

They Don't Call Them "Strong, Beautiful Barnard Women" for No Reason

Something to know about Barnard women: they are beautiful. I don't mean superficially, or that they are all super-models. I mean they are amazing women who, no matter what they look like, have strength and charisma. It feels amazing to know that you are surrounded by future leaders, by women who will go on to do great things. I wouldn't say that everyone is gorgeous, but there is a high percentage of beautiful women here (only compounded by their intelligence). Also, EVERYONE dresses well. I don't know why. It must be something in the water...

Facts

Social Scene

When Barnard girls go out, they tend to go downtown and far away from the college scene. Just like in any other college town, the bars will card pretty tough right around campus, although it's usually easier for a girl to get the man at the door to look the other way. To avoid this, Barnard girls will go downtown where the crowd is a little less juvenile.

Hookups or Relationships?

There is a saying around the Columbia University community that says, "Columbia to wed; Barnard to bed." This isn't entirely warranted, but there is a little bit of truth to it. Either a Barnard girl has a long distance boyfriend or she is going from guy-to-guy, though not necessarily a Columbia guy because most of them are stuck-up, and far fewer are good looking.

Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls

The best place to meet someone is in class or some sort of club involvement if you really want to be interested in them as a person. Otherwise, go to bars. There are lots of guys and girls there that only come to talk to and hit on other guys and girls, especially at the West End. Set your standards low and you won't be disappointed.
