Welcome to Annandale
Please use this site to familiarize yourself with Bard prior to your arrival on campus. We want your transition to be as seamless as possible, so we recommend that you spend some time learning about both the academic and campus life here at Bard. All early college students participate in the Language and Thinking (L&T) Program, which requires an early arrival to campus and a required summer reading.
