Campus protests are causing some teens and parents to reconsider college enrollment decisions

Earlier this year, an 18-year-old high school senior from New York City had planned to enroll at Columbia University’s sister school Barnard College in Manhattan as an early decision student. But after her parents saw rising tensions over the Israel-Hamas conflict on several US campuses, including at Barnard and Columbia, they returned to her list.

The student, who spoke to CNN on condition of anonymity due to privacy concerns, ultimately chose Brandeis University in Massachusetts, one of two schools on the Anti-Defamation League’s 2024 list of 85 colleges that received an A grade for its response to antisemitic incidents. on campus and his support of Jewish students.

“Barnard is my top choice. I’m dying to go,” said the private school student, who is Jewish. “But after seeing what’s happening on campus, I’m so glad I went to Brandeis. I feel very happy and relieved knowing they got an A.”
Other families have also struggled with where to send their high school students in the fall as campus protests continue at schools across the country, even as final deadlines loom.

Mimi Doe — co-founder and CEO of Top Level Admissions, whose admissions experts help students get into the colleges of their choice — told CNN some students have reconsidered where to attend, especially when it comes to enrolling at Columbia University.
