Guys & Girls

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...

Athletics

Through the Barnard and Columbia consortium, Barnard girls play varsity and club sports on Columbia’s teams, which affords them the opportunity to compete on a larger scale than they would if Barnard had its own teams. This isn’t a huge deal, however, because Columbia’s sports aren’t good at all, and no one watches them. You could ask twenty Barnard students what the score was at the Columbia football game, and not a single person would be able to tell you. In fact, most students can’t name anyone on any of...
