<p>Does anyone go to an all girls or all boys schools? Do you like it better than co-ed schools?</p>
<p>Personally, I don't think I'd do as well if I went to a co-ed school.</p>
<p>Sometimes I wish I could go to an all-girls school. But then I wonder, about the **<strong><em>iness and stuff, or maybe girls are only really *</em></strong>*y when they are guys. I dunno. </p>
<p>I go to a co-ed school and at times hate it.</p>
<p>yeah, i go to a small all-girls catholic school in the Bay Area. </p>
<p>I love it! You get used to the all-girls school within the first month of Freshman year. Girls act so much different without any guys around. You're more comfortable in class, no guys to try and impress, no distractions. I have a lot of fun.</p>
<p>i love going to an all-girls' school. it's just so much more comfortable and there aren't any guys to distract you.</p>
<p>I'm jealous of that. If I had stayed in America I would have gone to an all girls high school. I really dislike the girl boy drama. Its so petty and annoying. You're so lucky.</p>
<p>I've got too many guy friends to even consider the possibility. Incessent cattiness would drive me up the wall. Good call with the relationship drama, though - it would be nice to spare that.</p>
<p>It would SUCK to go to an all-girl school. Most of my friends are guys. It teaches you to get over the boy-girl "tension." Imagine going to college with no exposure/experience with that. You'd be so distracted, especially because in college people are away from home and a lot more open about that stuff. Yes, relationships and stuff in high school can be distracting/unwanted, but imagine how much worse it will be in college when you aren't experienced enough to ignore it. And I always considered college the time to get romantically involved. So use high school to get comfortable in a friendly manner with the opposite sex, and in college you'll be much more prepared for the bigger stuff.
Of course, it might seem worrying to get distracted in high school and possibly not perform as well in terms of academics...but I'm telling you, the point of it all is to make you a balanced person. And really, if you haven't learned to deal with it by 11th and 12th grades, thank the lord that you haven't messed up 2 years of COLLEGE with that problem.</p>
<p>uh, who says you can't have any guy friends if you go to an all girls school? probably 95% of my core group of friends are guys. i've been with my boyfriend for 9 months. with dances, formals, clubs, and other activities, its impossible not to be exposed to guys in one situation or another. our all-girls school even offers a couple of classes at the local all-boys school, or they can take classes here.</p>
<p>my parents won't let me apply to any women's colleges.</p>
<p>I wonder what would happen if a guy sent in an app to Smith or Wellesley? :) Automatic rejection? won't that be sexual discrimination? Since there was an uproar a few years ago about some clubs at Princeton that were strictly for men only.</p>
<p>My mom would never let me go to an all girls-school. She says it's not good for me to be limited to working with only certain people. I agree... and it'd be really hard for me socially, because I don't go out a lot like you might.</p>
<p>I attend an all-girl's school. It's not a big deal, just like any other high school. At the end of the day, I'm surrounded by my friends. That's all that matters. A lot of people say, " Oh, too much drama." Drama is not a pervasive part of the culture at an all-girls' school. If your looking for it, o.k, you will find it. But, otherwise, I've been, for the most part, able to successfully avoid the drama and cattyness associated with girls.</p>
<p>One of my best guy friends got accepted to an all girls high school. He ended up telling them the truth when they wantedto schedule an interview, but it was still hilarious.</p>
<p>i go to a small all-girls catholic school. it's great... i love my school. there's actually a lot LESS drama at my school than i hear about from public schools around. we interact plenty with guys, for whoever said that above.. we bus with our brother school, we have clubs like Life Witness that we have with our brother school, Crop Walk, etc. not to mention football and hockey games, parties and what not. besides, mostly everyone from the private schools around know each other so you meet people anyway.</p>
<p>I've gone to an all-girl's prep school for the past 3 years (i'm a senior now) and I would never trade the experience. I have made friendships that will last forever and met people from all around the world that I would never have met otherwise. I've played "football" in the snow, won new england championships, and listened to speakers that every co-ed school could have... so I'm not missing out. btw, as far as the guy things go, they are there when you want them to be there and if you don't want them in your life there not. Your on your own social terms.</p>
<p>All boys Catholic school. I got used to the no girls at school pretty quickly though. Girls from nearby sister schools stop by a lot (there's two within a couple miles, one's right across the Pike.</p>
<p>Though I must say, without girls, we guys can be pretty damn crude. We can get away with more comments (teachers can too), but sometimes it just gets annoying. I am sick of seeing *****es drawn everywhere.</p>
<p>what was that? Vaginas or Male organs?</p>
<p>Tell me more about the all boys school! I can imagine you guys are free-er to talk about whatever you want with out *****y girls around. What are the teachers like? Hm?</p>
<p>i attend an all-girls school. we don`t really miss out on the opposite sex because our sister school is all-boys.</p>
<p>The latter - one female teacher remarked to another "You'd think they'd draw boobs all over the place, but no..."</p>
<p>"8 = Defense" is the phallic symbol of choice for pre-football game posters.</p>
<p>Anyways, male teachers can get away with comments about their wives, or daughters, nieces, etc that some would find sexist, but since there's no girls to call them out - we just laugh.</p>
<p>I go to an all boys high school and it is great. There are no girls to worry about during the day but then we can just go walk down to the girls school down a few blocks.</p>
<p>There's something to be said for single sex education. It works very for sports: all the best DC sports schools are all-boys (like DeMatha, which has the 2nd best athletic program in America according to Sports Illustrated). It makes sense, since without any girls to distract them, all the guys do there is train and study.</p>
