<p>I have to make an exception to my earlier post - Deep Springs - that place is the only one cool enough so I can forego girls while at school.</p>
<p>In light of the fact that Haverford
Swarthmore, U. Penn, St Joe's
Villanova, Drexel and Temple are
within 20 minutes of Bryn Mawr
my daughter has no problems attending
an all girls school. In addition, with cross
registration with Haverford, Swarthmore
and U. Penn there will be guys in her classes and....
she has the option of dorming and dining @ Haverford.</p>
<p>Bryn Mawr is an all girls school
but it provides a co-ed college
community if it is desired.</p>
<p>hey! im going to wellesley next year...</p>
<p>which cross-registers with MIT</p>
<p>I need GUYS thank you very much! However, if I WERE a guy I think I would be very interested in Deep Springs. Too bad there isn't a Deep Springs version II for women.</p>
<p>West Sidee, it's funny.. my friend (who's a guy just to be clear) said the exact same thing to me a couple weeks ago. Seriously dudes, if it bothers you to think of your future daughter meeting a guy like you, STRAIGHTEN UP! Think of our daddies and how they must feel.. ;)</p>
<p>I think a few of you are confusing women's colleges with cloistered nunneries. Seriously, what gives? A woman's college isn't a safe place to stash an overprotected daughter . Nor it is a place where a young woman who "NEEDS" guys is going to suffer a four-year drought.</p>
<p>You think women at women's colleges don't date? Don't have social lives? Have you even bothered to find out anything about single-sex education?</p>
<p>Not only did we date at my college, we had 24-coed visitation on weekends. Does that sound like a nunnery to you? LOL</p>
<p>m_c. </p>
<p>I've straightened up. And I've apologized to a lot of girls that I've hurt in the past. Learning from past relationships is overrated, most of what you learn is disillusionment of love. Which isn't fair to your next bf/gf. And I've even helped start up a few sororities based on "true sisterhood" to make up for it in my head... or heart... bleh.</p>
<p>friends that pee together... stay together! LOLZ! Remember that!</p>
<p>Are guys at all guy schools able to pick up women?</p>
<p>I don't know about Wabash, but Hampden-Sydney (and VMI, for that matter) is reasonably close to several women's colleges. A lot of the social life at those schools is geared towards the others. Social events are advertised both places, etc. My college also offered a joint class with H-SC. The enrollment was about half and half, and we switched off week to week which campus we met on.</p>
<p>its always a straight no. u learn to cope with the outside world from the campus. and since u know, its not an all BOY / GIRL world. its a mixed and free world.</p>

<p>A single-sex campus may not be of interest to you for personal reasons, but this reason doesn't make sense.</p>
<p>First of all, it suggests that at a single-sex college, students NEVER come into contact with any member of the other gender. Not so. Faculty and administration, for one thing, are mixed. Also, no college student I know confines themselves to campus 24/7. Single-sex students go out into the world too, for daily transactions, for internships, for jobs. Contrary to what you claim, many students (and educators) believe that students also learn how to get on in the world through these sorts of experiences in conjunction with their campus life.</p>
<p>Also, your claim (that single-sex colleges can't prepare a person to get by in a mixed world) isn't borne out by the experiences of single-sex college graduates. They don't seem to be ill-prepared for life; they are as accomplished and successful as their peers who went to co-ed campuses.</p>
<p>VMI guys go to W&L parties and date W&L girls (which HAS to be annoying for W&L guys - how am I supposed to compete with a cadet?)</p>
<p>Hoedown, I agree with you. I went to an all girls highschool, as well as a co-ed highschool. Sure, there are differences. But you know what? The all girls highschool was so much more fun! You form a much closer bond with your peers when they are of the same sex. But that doesn't mean I didn't interact with the opposite sex. I had about the same interaction with guys at the all girls school as at the co ed school. So really, it doesn't make a difference at all.</p>
<p>well i might be going to morehouse but that doesnt count beause morehouse, spalman, and clark are basically one big campus and when I went there I couldnt even tell it was an all male school. there were girls everywhere- thank god</p>
<p>i would go to HSC its like they say: "Where men are men and women are guests" I would like that, be it a little old fashioned.</p>
<p>"that place is the only one cool enough so I can forego girls while at school."</p>
<p>GRRR. I wish there were a girl version of Deep Springs. </p>
<p>Anywhoo. One of the colleges I'm way looking at is Smith, so that'd be a yeah. It's not as if you never see guys if you go to an all girls school...so it's really not as big a deal as it'd seem. It's just a different atmosphere, I suppose...</p>
<p>I did this. I don't regret it, because the single-sex school was the only one I got into, and after I transferred, things worked out very well for me. But the school was not a good match.</p>
<br>
<p>Your college experience is not defined by how many members of the opposite sex are in English 101 with you.</p>
<br>
<p>Beg to differ. At a lot of single-sex schools (Bryn Mawr being one of them), the population and culture are extremely different from a co-ed school, and the overall college experience is very much affected by those differences. Most students at these schools view it as a plus, but very few would deny that it changes the experience drastically.</p>
<p>Yes only if I was in a town where there were other colleges. Not community colleges, real colleges with lots of college kids. </p>
<p>Personally considering Wellesley.</p>
<p>Yup</p>
<p>Sure I would. I applied to five women's colleges and was planning to attend one, until I realized I wanted to go somewhere else for college. </p>
<p>Wellesley was my first dream school. I gradually stopped wanting to go as time passed, and then I didn't get accepted in the end, anyway. Oh well. :)</p>
<p>But yeah, there's nothing wrong, in my eyes, with women's colleges.</p>

<p>Just as an interesting thought exercise: try to name a famous female graduate of Amherst, Williams, Wesleyan, Haverford, Yale, Princeton - it can be done, of course, but I'll bet most of you have to work at it.</p>
<p>Never; it's just that my testosterone is insatiable.</p>
