For the high-school seniors out there currently awaiting acceptance letters, needing reassurance you've made the right choice, or just pondering whether or not to attend Barnard, HerCampus has published an article you should read, written by Barnard senior Rachel Peck.
As a Barnard senior myself, I can relate to the dumbfounding questions Peck talks about in her article. Coming from a community not particularly supportive of "liberal" education, I remember being asked, "Isn't it just lesbians who go to women's schools?" A different individual told me to make sure I didn't become a "she-woman man-hater." "Wow," was all I could say at the time.
