Barnard College is a highly selective liberal arts college for women located in the Morningside Heights neighboorhood of Upper Manhattan. Columbia University is located directly across the street, and the two schools share many resources. Barnard and Columbia students can take classes at both schools, share the holdings of the 22 affiliated libraries , and compete in the joint athletic consortium. But unlike the now-defunct Harvard / Radcliffe relationship, Columbia and Barnard have separate financial resources, admission offices, and staffing.

During the 2010 - 2011 admissions cycle, just 28% of applicants were accepted to Barnard, and they had GPAs and test scores well above average. The college's many strengths made it an easy pick for our lists of top women's colleges , top Middle Atlantic colleges , and top New York colleges .

The campus is compact and sits between West 116th Street and West 120th Street on Broadway. The image above was taken from Lehman Lawn looking south towards Barnard Hall and Sulzberger Tower. During nice weather, you'll often find students studying and socializing on the lawn, and many professors hold class outside.

Barnard Hall at Barnard College

When you first enter the main gates to Barnard College , you'll be confronted by the pillared front of Barnard Hall. This large building serves a wide range of functions at the college. Inside you'll find classrooms, offices, studios, and event space. The Barnard Center for Research on Women is located on the first floor.

The building is also home to Barnard's athletic facilities. On the lower level are a swimming pool, track, weight room, and gym. Students also have access to Columbia's athletic facilities. Barnard students compete in the Columbia/Barnard Athletic Consortium, and this relationship makes Barnard the only women's college in the country that competes in the NCAA Division I. Barnard women can choose from sixteen intercollegiate sports.

Connected to the northwest corner of Barnard Hall is the Barnard Hall Dance Annex. The college has a strong dance program and has graduated many students who now work as professional dancers. Dance is also a popular area of study for students who are completing the visual and performing arts component of Barnard's "Nine Ways of Knowing" interdisciplinary foundation courses.

Lehman Hall at Barnard College

If you attend Barnard, you'll spend a lot of time in Lehman Hall. The first three floors of the building are home to Wollman Library, Barnard's primary research facility. Students have the added perk that they can use all of Columbia University's library facilities with its ten million volumes and 140,000 serials.

On the third floor of Lehman is the Sloate Media Center with eight Mac Pro workstations for creating a wide range of multimedia projects.

Lehman Hall is also home to three of Barnard College's most popular academic departments: Economics, Political Science , and History.

The Diana Center at Barnard College

Barnard College's newest building is The Diana Center, a 98,000 square foot structure first opened in 2010. The building serves a wide range of functions.

This new building is home to the Office of Student Life at Barnard College. Orientation, leadership programs, student government, student clubs and organizations, and the college's diversity initiatives are all centered in The Diana Center.

Other facilities in the building include a cafeteria, student store, art studios, art gallery, and the college's main computing center. On a lower level of The Diana Center is the state-of-the-art Glicker-Milstein Theatre, a versatile black box theater used by the Theatre Department and performance-related student organizations.

Not visible from Lehman Lawn, the roof of the Diana Center is part of the building's "green" design. The roof has a lawn and garden beds, and that space is used for lounging, outdoor classes, and ecological study. The green space on the roof also has environmental benefits as the soil insulates the building and keeps rainwater from the sewer system. The Diana Center earned LEED Gold certification for its energy-efficient and sustainable design.

Milbank Hall at Barnard College

When visiting campus, you can't miss Milbank Hall -- it dominates the entire north end of campus. Looking up, you'll notice a greenhouse on the upper level that is used for botanical research.

Milbank Hall is Barnard's original and oldest building. First opened in 1896, this historic 121,000 square foot building stands at the heart of Barnard's academic life. Within Milbank, you'll find the departments of Africana Studies, Anthropology, Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, Classics, Foreign Languages, Math, Music, Philosophy, Psychology, Religion, Sociology, and Theatre. The Theatre Department uses the Minor Latham Playhouse on the first floor of Milbank for many of its productions.

The building is also home to many of the university's administrative offices. You'll find offices for the President, Provost, Registrar, Bursar, Dean of Studies, Dean for Study Abroad , Financial Aid and Admissions in Milbank.

Altschul Hall at Barnard College

Barnard is one of the best liberal arts colleges in the country for science, and you'll find the departments of biology, chemistry, environmental science, physics, and neuroscience all in Altschul Hall.

The 118,000 square-foot tower was built in 1969 and contains numerous classrooms, laboratories, and faculty offices. Even non-science majors will frequent Altschul -- the mailroom and student mailboxes are all located on the lower level.

Brooks Hall at Barnard College

Built in 1907, Brooks Hall was the first residence hall at Barnard. The building is home to 125 first-year students and a few transfer students. The majority of rooms are doubles, triples, and quads, and students share bathrooms on each floor. Barnard residence halls all have internet connectivity, laundry facilities, common rooms, and options for cable and small refrigerators.

Brooks Hall is located on the south end of Barnard's campus and is part of the residential quad with Hewitt Hall, Reid Hall, and Sulzberger Hall. The dining hall is in the basement of Hewitt, and all first-year students are required to participate in Barnard's unlimited meal plan.

Room and board at Barnard is not cheap, but it is a bargain when compared to the typical cost of living and dining off-campus in New York City.

Hewitt Hall at Barnard College

Built in 1925, Hewitt Hall is home to 215 sophomores, juniors, and seniors at Barnard College. Most rooms are singles, and students share a bathroom on each floor. Kitchens and lounge areas are in adjoining Sulzberger Hall. The college's main dining hall is in the basement of Hewitt.

Hewitt, like all of Barnard's residence halls, has a desk attendant 24 hours a day to make sure students' living environment is safe and secure.

The first floor of Hewitt is home to several college services: the Counseling Center, Disability Services, and the Alcohol and Substance Awareness Program.

Sulzberger Hall and Tower at Barnard College

Sulzberger is the largest residence hall at Barnard College. The lower floors are home to 304 first-year students, and the tower houses 124 upperclasswomen.

Sulzberger Hall is made up of double and triple occupancy rooms, and each floor has a lounge, kitchenette, and a shared bathroom. Sulzberger Tower has mostly single occupancy rooms, and each hall has two lounge/kitchen areas and a shared bathroom.

For the 2011 - 2012 academic year, single occupancy rooms cost $1,200 more than shared rooms.

The Courtyard in the Barnard College Quad

Barnard College's four main residence halls -- Hewitt, Brooks, Reid, and Sulzberger -- surround a quaint landscaped courtyard. The benches and cafe tables of the Arthur Ross Courtyard make a perfect spot for reading or studying on a warm afternoon.

While all first-year students live in the Quad, the college owns several other properties for upperclass students. These buildings have suite-style rooms with bathrooms and kitchens shared by suite occupants. A few upperclass Barnard students live in Columbia residence halls and sororities. Overall, 98% of first-year students and 90% of all students live in some form of campus housing .

The View of Barnard College From Broadway

Prospective Barnard students should keep in mind that the college is in a bustling urban environment. The photo above was taken from the Columbia University side of Broadway. In the center of the photo is Reid Hall, one of the residence halls for first-year students. To the left is Brooks Hall on West 116th Street, and to the right of Reid is Sulzberger Hall and Sulzberger Tower.

Barnard's location in Upper Manhattan places it within an easy walk to Harlem, City College of New York , Morningside Park, Riverside Park, and the northern end of Central Park. Columbia University is just a few steps away. The subway stops just outside Barnard's main gates, so students have ready access to all the attractions of New York City.

Vagelos Alumnae Center at Barnard College

The benefits of attending a prestigious college like Barnard continue long after graduation. Barnard has a strong alumnae network of over 30,000 women, and the college has many programs designed to connect and support graduates on both the professional and personal fronts. The college also works to connect current students to alumnae for mentoring and networking.

At the heart of Barnard's Alumnae Association is the Vagelos Alumnae Center. The center is located in the "Deanery," an apartment in Hewitt Hall that was once home to a Barnard Dean. The center has a living room and dining room that alumnae can use for meetings and social events.

Visitor Center at Barnard College

If you want to tour Barnard College, walk through the main gates on Broadway, turn left, and you'll be at the Visitor Center in the Sulzberger Annex (above you will be Sulzberger Hall and Tower, two of Barnard's residence halls). Tours leave the Visitor Center at 10:30 and 2:30 Monday through Friday and take about an hour. After the tour, you can attend an informational session by one of Barnard's admissions counselors and learn about the college and student life.

You don't need an appointment to take a tour, but you should check Barnard's Admissions homepage before showing up to make sure tours are operating on the usual schedule.

A virtual tour of barnard college from someone who has never been there.

By Bwog Staff on Sep 19, 2020 2 Comments

First-year Panu Hejmadi gives new students an in-depth, articulate tour of Barnard College as the most reliable tour guide that has ever been on Barnard’s campus. After all, there is nothing more objective than a perspective that is delivered by distancing yourself from the subject matter. And I’m only a comfortable nineteen hour and twenty-five-minute flight away.

Welcome to Barnard! I will be your tour guide this morning/afternoon/evening/midnight—depending on your timezone, of course. Count on me to give you a very comprehensive introduction to our campus (please don’t).

First off, there’s Milbank Hall. We’ve got to start here because this is also Barnard’s oldest building—there was even a time where this was the only building for our undergraduates to function out of. Also, The garden out front is really pretty and looks incredible in pictures. Yes, I do fantasize daily about sitting on that cozy bench, reading off my laptop, and making notes in a bright-orange notebook on the side. No, I don’t think I’ll get to live it out within the next 4 months, but a girl can dream.

Side note: Milbank Hall is not to be confused with The Milstein Centre. Imagine my utter confusion when a Barnard student in this Youtube video said that Milstein was built when she was a freshman. I now know with certainty that Barnard was not founded in 2018—and you’re welcome for the clarification.

Right across from Milbank, is the Diana Centre. Now, I hate to confess: but I don’t really know what happens inside the Diana Centre. What I can tell you, from my carefully curated knowledge of Greek and Roman mythology (thank you, Percy Jackson), is that Diana is the Roman equivalent of the Greek Goddess, Artemis. And Artemis was one badass woman—who simultaneously was the Goddess of the Hunt, the Moon, and the Underworld, as well as the deity of childbirth and “crossroads.” Just another multi-faceted woman to be inspired by on the Barnard campus!

Also, I hear that the Diana Centre makes a mean smoothie that has the ability to literally bring your soul to life. Maybe the smoothie is related to Diana the hunting goddess and her wilderness magic—but again, I wouldn’t know, I’ve never been.

Our next stop is riiiight at the other end of campus, all the way at the Quad. Most of the buildings here are residential halls, that also double as cozy study spaces and exciting dining halls. And goddamn, have you ever seen these spaces? All of them seem to have an equally enticing fuzzy light and a characteristically archaic nature that almost makes them look like a Hogwarts common room. The basement of Barnard Hall has Hewitt and its wide variety of food. Brooks has a piano lounge. Sulzberger has aIR-cOndiTioNing–as Sulz residents never let you forget. Also, apparently, there’s a magical place, in one of these buildings, called Well Woman that offers free tea and chocolate and massage chairs? It’s concepts like these that make me convinced that Barnard is a fictional place that my parents made up in order to get me to move out of the house.

Sources: Izzy from Izzy Snapshots, Google Street View, and the 5 upperclassmen that I’ve talked to so far.

Inevitably, on-campus tours of classrooms, libraries, dorms, and dining halls will start to blend. Jog your memory using the virtual tour and even explore the area surrounding the campus using the interactive mapping tool. If you're just beginning your college search, a virtual tour can be a great way to get a feel for a campus before your visit.

Best way to get to college from LaGaurdia airport

Recommendations on where to stay - close to school or close to midtown? Want to see the city while we are there. Any recommendations on actual hotels that are clean and economical for a family of 4.

thanks in advance!

15 replies to this topic

The best way for 4 people with luggage IMO is taxi. But I don't think bringing luggage on the tour will work. You either need to arrive in enough time to drop luggage at a hotel first or have someone in the group take luggage to hotel while the rest go on the tour. Hotel prices fluctuate by day. What are your dates and how many beds do you need? Staying near a subway station is your best bet.

Is this a first visit for some or all of you?

How long is your visit?

Do you have a sightseeing wish list beyond the campus area?

Dates, desired room/bed configuration & budget will get you better hotel advice

LGA has very easy & cheap transit options to Barnard/Columbia via the M60 bus, but choice of hotel location will likely make transit options different from those to the campus https://new.mta.info/guides/airports/laguardia

Re: luggage. If you call the admissions office and let them know, I bet they will be able to find a place for you to store your luggage while on campus.

I agree a cab makes the most sense.

Thank you for your reply. We will be there March 23-25, short visit. We will need two beds. Not planning on any major sight seeing as our time is limited. We will only have one full day to sight see during this visit. Our budget would be about 300 - 350/ night I am guessing.

Appreciate the feedback.

So now the question is where do you want to stay. There are no hotels very close to Barnard but there are some closer than others. Or would you prefer staying near some sightseeing? If sightseeing, any special places?

FYI, Barnard/Columbia probably has a list of hotels where they have discount deals (I would be shocked if they don't.). But you may be able to do better w flash sales, or w your own points, and even on the hotel websites.

Alas, this Admissions page gives no indication that hotel discounts are available to prospective students;

https://barnard.edu/admissions/hotels

#7 - That list is odd

I'm pretty sure the Jazz Hostel is an SRO

Wow, that's pretty weak. I know my alma mater has such a list of discounted rates at area hotels - I just used it. I'm really surprised. Oh well.

Now I'm wondering if Barnard has Facebook groups for prospective students and parents, which also seems to be all the rage these days (no pun intended, seems a lot of "rage" goes on in those groups too.)

There are some other questionable places listed as well. Those dates must be school holidays because several of theUWS hotels I tried are either sold out or outrageously expensive. So far the best thingI found on a QUICK search was the Hilton Garden Inn Chelsea ..2 queen beds for under $700 for the 2 nights. Join Hilton a Honours while booking for best rate..it,s free to join.

The sprawling, mind-boggling metropolis of Russian Moscow has long been one of the theatrical stages on which the great dramas of Europe and Asia have been played out in grand style. Burned by Napoleon in 1812, immortalised by Tolstoy, utilised by the Bolsheviks and championed as a bastion of heroic defiance by the post-war communists, it’s almost hard to believe just how defining the historical events that found their home on Moscow’s streets have been. Moscow tour guides will easily be able to mark the major must-see landmarks on the map, from the onion-domed orthodox Saint Basil's Cathedral, to the political powerhouse of Red Square just next door, while others will be quick to recommend a ride on Moscow’s famous subterranean metro system, or a visit to the UNESCO-attested Novodevichy Convent on the city’s southern side. But Moscow is a city also in the throes of a cultural wrangling between the old and the new. Creative energies abound here: Boho bars and pumping super clubs now occupy the iconic mega structures of the old USSR; high-fashion outlets, trendy shopping malls and luxurious residential districts stand as testimony to a city that’s now the undisputed playground of the world’s super-rich, while sprawling modern art museums dominate the cultural offering of the downtown districts north of the Moskva River.

Kate Barnard has been involved in research since her sophomore year. A mechanical engineering student, she’s been working with civil engineering Assistant Professor Maryam Salehi on multiple research projects in order to reduce the number of microplastics in our water.

“Dr. Salehi presented to my statics class, and I was interested in the work she was doing with microplastics,” Barnard said. “I also wanted to get into undergraduate research, and this was something with real-world applications and ties to health and materials science that I was really interested in.”

Barnard presented her first project with Salehi’s lab on creating a membrane filter for microplastics at Show Me Research Week last spring. Since then, her work has taken her further into the realm of microplastics, exploring the safe disposal of plastics used in agriculture and ways to transition away from plastic use in agriculture, as well as sediment quality in Florida after Hurricane Idalia .

“Some of what I’m doing right now includes sieve analysis for a grad student in the lab,” she said. “I am using equipment to analyze the particle size distribution in sediment samples collected from the Apalachicola Bay, Florida. We are attempting to understand the effect of hurricane on redistribution of sediment particles as well as how it affects the migration of microplastic particles down the sediment column.”

Barnard’s time in the lab is just one example of how students experience the Missouri Method, hands-on research experiences that have applications in the real world.

“I loved the diversity of these projects, learning new things and understanding new things” she said. “Building relationships with grad students has been really beneficial for me, and I’ve enjoyed having the outside purpose of going to work, being a useful part of a team in that lab, and also getting practice with engineering applications that you can’t get in the classroom as easily. I’m seeing what developing new technologies really looks like.”

Barnard says that her research experience is preparing her for a corporate career. It’s improved her professional and research communication skills, time management and technical expertise. But she also says the experience is essential for students thinking about graduate school.

Joining a research lab was also how she got involved with and first connected to the Mizzou Engineering community outside of the classroom.

“When I started in the lab, I was feeling a little disconnected,” she said. “Being in a lab, with a group of people who were all working toward the same goal gave me that sense of belonging that I’d been looking for. Being able to talk to and work with the graduate students in the lab on these shared projects, discussing our shared interests, has been something I’ve really loved. I now walk around the engineering building and think, ‘these are my people, this is what I do.’”
