Bard College Top Questions

What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?

Maka

The community--how strong and helpful it is. Between my friends and acquaintances, there really isn't any obstacle that's been able to stand in our way. We do projects, we build things, we take political action, we spend hours helping one person who's in need instead of being selfish and keeping to ourselves. The best parties are just hanging out with 10 or 15 of my closest friends, playing music and dancing and just having fun. Words are unnecessary between friends here, once you find the people you can click with, you're set for life.

The small classes, the fantastic teachers, the exciting classes, the creativity and intelligence of all the students here, the beautiful campus, the wonderful academics, the great opportunities. It's a great school. X-men was created here and Steely Dan.
