anywhere to find professor reviews besides rate my professors?

im an incoming grad student this fall and there are a number of professors i cant find on rate my professors—i know other schools have some kind of internal feedback system where you can see students' ratings for teachers, does bard have anything like that? or even a facebook group where this is discussed? when i was in undergrad we would exchange experiences over fb, but it seems like people aren't using fb much anymore.

Questions about the IR/Poli-Sci program and campus life at Bard!

Hi! I'm a student looking to apply to Bard this fall and hopefully study political science/International relations. I was wondering if anyone could tell me about their experiences with this program at Bard!

I've also heard of the dorm situation there being somewhat unfortunate, and am curious if this issue has been mostly resolved by now/if its just negativity bias.

Thanks!

Is Bard College a Good Choice If You Wanna Major in Economics?

Are economics degrees from Bard respected? Any notable econ professors at Bard? What is the experience of learning econ at Bard like? Does Bard have data on how much money these degrees make after college? I'm seriously interested in Bard College as a transfer option, so if anyone could answer these questions, please do.

Grad programs

Hello everyone!

I applied to Bard's MA in Decorative Arts, Design History, and Material Culture. I feel like I should have heard from them by now, but I haven't heard anything. Does anyone know anything? Also, does anyone know the acceptance rate for this program? Any information would be super helpful!

How is the philosophy/religious studies program at bard?

Prospective student planning on doing a double major in philosophy and religious studies. Was wondering what the programs—more so philosophy—are like.

I’m a bit worried about class options as the course list was quite small compared to other colleges. Is this an issue?

Is it more analytic learning?

How competent are the professors?

Are you challenged?

How well do the programs prepare you for grad school/admissions?

Thanks!

How is the English department?

I got accepted into Bard, and I like almost everything about it, but my main concern is the academics. I want classes where I actually learn and that are challenging but not impossible. I'm also planning on going to grad school, so I want a college that prepare me for that. I'm specifically focusing on majoring in English. Does anyone know anything about the department?

Applying to Bard as undecided

Hello! I am an international student planning to study in the US with one of the main reasons being the possibility of not declaring a major in the first year, so being "undecided". One of the universities I am considering is Bard, it's the first one I'm trying to fill out the requirements for on the Common App, and there seems to be no possibility of choosing to not declare a field I'm interested in? Basically, do I have to choose a program I'm interested in when applying even though I want undecided and to not choose a program, and does Bard even offer undecided at all?

How's the Math major here?

So, Bard sounds like a really cool school. I wanna go to grad school in math and don't have the best stats as an international needing aid, except for a perfect SAT. Is Bard good as preparation for grad school in math? The professors seem to be from really good institutions and the courses, while not available every year, are also decently expansive.

If there are any math majors here, what sort of grad schools did you and your peers get into?

Single Family Home - Kingston, NY - For Rent to Bard Professors/Students

Hi - Unique posting/inquiry.

I have a lovely home in the art neighborhood - Rondout District - of Kingston, NY (right down the way from Bard). I'm going to be gone for most of the fall through the late spring each year and am looking to find folks at Bard who would be interested in renting it for a very affordable price. For those who don't know, Rondout is an artist-centric area with many studios, exhibits, cafes, restaurants, etc and would be an ideal location for visiting professors, or a few students alike.

Curious whether folks at Bard would be interested. Can be flexible on cost and timing. Please let me know!
