<p>I am looking for some suggestion to an All Girl College for my daughter. Are there any suggestions for the California area?</p>

<p>Is that what she wants, or what you want for her?</p>
<p>For the past 4 months, we have been researching co-ed schools. As of this morning she explained to me that she would prefer an "All Girl" school. I dont have a preference, it is soley her decision.</p>
<p>I think her main concern is being able to focus, as she has ADD. Thank you for your help. I will look into those listed.</p>
<p>There are lots of girl's colleges in the rest of the country too. I went to a girl's high school and there certainly are advantages to single sex education, but for me the right thing was a co-ed college.</p>
<p>By the way here's a more complete list for the rest of the country:

<p>Thank you, this will give her a great start.</p>
<p>It's not in California, but Bryn Mawr is fantastic.</p>
<p>Less selective than Bryn Mawr is Agnes Scott in Atlanta (huge endowment, great school) and even less selective and very diverse is Wesleyan in Macon, Georgia. Also consider Hollins, and Sweetbriar.</p>
<p>I can heartily recommend St</a>. Mary's College in Notre Dame, Indiana. What the location implies is correct - St. Mary's is operated by the Sisters of the Holy Cross and is located across the road from Notre Dame.</p>
<p>St. Mary's was again rated the top Comprehensive college in the Midwest region by U.S. News in their 2007 rankings. Students at St. Mary's participate in the Notre Dame Marching Band, receive Notre Dame football student tickets, and are eligible to take classes on Notre Dame's campus.</p>
<p>If your daughter can get over the weather in Northern Indiana, it may tun out to be a perfect fit.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>these are women's colleges not girl's colleges. Just don't want you to embarass yourself or your daughter at a interview!</p>
<p>LOL. And if you google girl's colleges you'll be unhappy with what results. :-)</p>
<p>Scripps is part of the Claremont colleges (California) so even though it's a Women's college, there's still access to guys nearby and access to the resources of the other Claremont colleges. It's pretty highly ranked also.</p>
<p>Scripps is part of an extremely unique consortium that you can read a little about at <a href="http://www.claremont.edu%5B/url%5D">http://www.claremont.edu</a>. It's wonderful for those who want the unique atmosphere of a women's college (I often step on toes by referring to my institution as a "girls school"...darn high school habits) but aren't sure they want the isolation of some single-sex campuses. After 4 years of a single-sex high school, it was the perfect solution for me. But because cross-registration is common (and in many departments, unavoidable), facilities are shared, etc., it may not be the ideal choice for someone who finds co-education distracting. Then again, it might be great middle ground. It was named the "Hottest Women's College" of 2006 and is definitely worth a look, but bear in mind that it's not necessarily single-sex in the way that other schools might be.</p>
<p>That said, Scripps is wonderful...I love it :-)</p>
<p>Best of luck to you and your daughter in the search!</p>
<p>Also look at Meredith College in Raleigh, NC. I believe it's the largest women's college in the Southeast and is in a great location.</p>
