'''Barnard College''' is a women's college across [[Broadway (avenue)|Broadway]] from Columbia's [[Morningside Heights campus]]. It is part of the prestigious [[Seven Sisters]] Colleges (the other members being Radcliffe, Smith, Wellesley, Bryn Mawr, Vassar, and Mount Holyoke). It was founded in [[1889]] for female undergraduate students at a time when [[Columbia College]] accepted men only (it would become co-ed in [[1983]]).

Barnard is 'independent' institution affiliated with the University via an [[Columbia-Barnard Intercorporate Agreement|intercorporate agreement]] negotiated between the two institutions. Barnard students can take most classes at the University (most notably, they may not take [[Core Curriculum]] classes).
Barnard degrees are conferred by [[Columbia University]].<ref>http://www.barnard.edu/parents/academics.html</ref> Needless to say, Barnard has a complicated [[Columbia-Barnard Relationship|relationship]] with Columbia.

For many years Barnard College was headed by a [[Dean of Barnard College|dean]], but in the 1950s, Barnard decided to elevate to status of their highest administrator to [[:Category:Barnard College presidents|president]]. The current president is [[Debora Spar]].

On October 23, [[1890]], the ''[[Spec]]'' welcomed Barnard with this editorial:

"With this issue Barnard College makes her bow--we beg the young ladies' pardon, her courtesy [curtsy]--to our readers. It is, for the present at least, our intention to make the news of our sister school a regular--and of course a pretty--department of our paper.

In if the course of time, however, we find that our sister students, prepossessing and spirituelle though they be, are not interesting and alert, we shall indeed feel obliged to sacrifice their publicity to more pressing news!

We shall, therefore, anxiously await from our correspondent the account of something 'real naughty and shocking' to keep alive interest. We should not like to suggest a love affair with a tutor; but if such an event came to pass spontaneously in the course of time, nothing could be further from our profession of impartiality than to restrain the news of it."

==Campus==

:''Main article: [[Barnard campus]]''

Barnard's four acre campus lies across Broadway from Columbia's main [[Morningside Heights]] spread on the half-block between Broadway, [[Claremont Avenue]], [[116th Street]] and [[120th Street]].

The heart of Barnard's campus is [[Barnard Hall]], aligned with the Barnard gates and the main east-west axis of the Columbia campus. It was built in the style of Columbia's academic buildings across the street and houses the college's athletic facilities, including [[LeFrak Gymnasium]] and the Barnard pool. [[Milbank Hall]] is the oldest building; it was the original building when Barnard moved to Morningside Heights with Columbia in 1897. In between are a number of academic buildings, including [[Altschul Hall]], [[Lehman Hall]] (home of the [[Barnard Library]]), and the new [[Diana]] student center, completed in February 2010.

1000 Barnard students live in the [[The Quad]] dorms immediately south of Barnard Hall. The rest live in Barnard dorms within the Morningside Heights neighborhood (though some, like [[Cathedral Gardens]], are very far-flung). [[Hewitt Dining Hall|Hewitt]], the main dining facility for Barnard students, is located mostly below street level underneath these dorms.

The Barnard campus is connected by open-access tunnels, which make traversing campus easy in inclement weather, which is more than can be said for Columbia's [[tunnels]], which require virtual spelunking skills to access in some cases.

==Academics==

Barnard students, unlike their Columbia College counterparts, do not have a Core Curriculum, but rather engage in an elaborate distribution requirement known as the [[Nine Ways of Knowing]], which includes a tailor-made First Year Seminar and a number of electives within a given number of categories.

Plimpton Hall

2013-04-24T23:47:27Z

Jak2202: Added update about singles becoming doubles.

{{Infobox barnardreshall
|Name=Plimpton Residence Hall
|Image=Plimpton.jpg
|Address=1235 Amsterdam Avenue
|Population=280}}

'''Plimpton Hall''' is a [[Barnard]] residence hall on the corner of 121st Street and [[Amsterdam Avenue]].

==History==

===Notable residents===

*[[Aravind Adiga]], Booker Prize-winning novelist

== Facilities ==
Plimpton has 15 residential floors, each with 4 suites. Rooms and hallways are tiled.

Each suite is comprised of 4 singles and 1 double. The doubles used to be single rooms that were converted in August 2012 by Residential Life and Housing to accomodate and unprecedented number of matriculating students.

There is a TV lounge, computer lab, and study lounge location on the 1st floor. Laundry is in the basement, along with the "Clay Collective."

== Accessibility ==
Wheelchair access is on the street level through a locked door, left of main entrance (call the desk attendant for access). Both elevators stop on all floors including the basement.

== Floor plans ==
Floor plans are available at [http://barnard.edu/reslife/floorplans/Plimpton.pdf http://barnard.edu/reslife/floorplans/Plimpton.pdf].

==Advantages==

*Easy access to the northern Amsterdam Avenue restaurant row, including Max Caffe, Cafe Fresh, as well as (relatively) cheap [[Appletree Market]] and its DVD rental selection
*Easy access to Pupin and Schermerhorn buildings through the Amsterdam and 120th Street entrances; also proximity to the Teachers' College and School of Social Work libraries.

==Disadvantages==

*Although campus is right across the intersection, it's a long walk to a gate that's open after 5pm. Getting special swipe access might be key.
