<p>Hi Everyone
My DD is attending Iowa State in the Fall. She did not get her desired housing assignment (or the next 8 alternatives) and ended up being placed in one of the only all girl dorms on campus.</p>
<p>My question is: How different will her social experience be based on this? </p>
<p>She is the type of girl who really does get along w/ guys better than girls. Her two best friends are guys. She does not do gossip or drama…in fact she hates it. She loves sports and can converse strongly on college football and basketball. (yah, I keep telling her that she is going to make some guy very happy!) LOL</p>
<p>Pluses of the all girl dorm: Closest to the building that her major classes will be in. Newly remodeled dining center attached. Told that there is less vandalism, and less ummm vomit in the bathrooms from kids who partake to much.</p>
<p>Minuses: Seems to be a smaller building…maybe 150 girls vs huge complex’s of 500+ (not sure if this is plus or minus) No guys… </p>
<p>Hmmm as a parent I am definately leaning toward the all girl dorm…but I want her to have a successful year.</p>
<p>I guess I’m just unsure if she will be happy in a smaller complex with all girls…</p>
<p>Does anyone have any input? Any experience?</p>
