<p>lol from wat i hear you're right up there with DeMatha when it comes to recruiting...(official or not)</p>
<p>I go to Miss Porter's School, which is an all-girls boarding school in Farmington, CT. Personally, coming to an all-girls school is the best descision I have ever made. At first, I was worried about loosing my social life by coming to a single-sex school and not being able to meet guys, but it has been the complete opposite of that. At single-sex schools, you are able to meet lots of people from a bunch of different schools because dances,concerts and movie nights are held nearly every weekend and all the different schools are bused in and everybody mingles. Opportunities like this are great because they allow you to meet different people, other than the students who are just at your school. Also, it allows you to build healthy relationships/friendships without all the cattiness that comes with guys and girls being in school together. At a single-sex school you have the opportunity to balance out your social and academic life. Studies show that students from all-girls schools score higher on the math section of their SAT's, and are stronger in math and science than their female counterparts who attended a coed school. Also,studies show that students from all-girls schools are more confident and the confidence they gain from their single-sex environment help them to succeed even in college if/when they attend a coed school. Consequantly, women from single-sex schools are more likely to have occupations in male dominated fields such as medicine and engineering because of their strong confidence and fearless approach to things they are passionate about. Aside from statistics, I personally feel like the single-sex environment allows you to excel as a student where you never feel hestitant, it allows you to be bold, and it allows you to have healthy relationships with you peers without the gossip that comes with boys being in the picture. Women who attended all female institutions such as Diane Sawyer, Martha Stewart, Hilary Clinton, Jane Fonda,etc. all attest to the fact that they use the confidence and boldness that they garnered in their single-sex schools everyday in their lives and in their professions.</p>
<p>Overall, it's a great opportunity that so many people appreciate and cherish. Many people disregard single-sex schools at first, because of fear of how being in an environment with all girls or all boys might be, but I think that once people give single-sex education a try, they realize that it molds them into a stronger person both academically and with their personality, and is ultimately more beneficial for them.</p>
