The hub of campus life tends to be the McIntosh Student Center - with a snack bar, lounges, the student store, student mailboxes, music practice rooms, an art exhibit area, and even a bowling alley. McIntosh is also headquarters for Barnard's more than 80 clubs and organizations. Students serve with faculty and administrators on college committees, helping to shape policy in such areas as the curriculum, housing, and college activities. Two students serve as representatives to Barnard's Board of Trustees.
