Barnard students react to tuition increase

And celebrate access to JJ’s Place

Several changes are coming to Barnard this year, according to an email sent yesterday afternoon by Chief Operating Officer Rob Goldberg and Dean of the College, Avis Hinkson. In addition to new housing and meal plan options outlined in the email – including access to JJ’s Place – the college’s tuition and fees will increase by 5.8 percent.

We found the best reactions.

While some celebrated the much-awaited access to JJ’s Place…
