I never fit in with a bunch of girls; they always want to go shopping and talk about boys

<p>I'm sorry you haven't met a wider variety of women. I can assure you that at both the co-ed and all-female undergrad experiences I had, I never had a problem with my female peers only wanting to "go shopping and talk about boys."</p>
<p>The irony is, if you keep avoiding spending time with women based on this belief, you'll never have this bizarre generalization challenged. I think that's unfortunate.</p>
<p>Actually, I have spent more time with women the last couple years...that's how I came up with those ideas. Before that I couldn't care less.
Anyway, show me a woman who doesn't talk about guys or doesn't want to go shopping.</p>
<p>Clsoar- Why doesn't Wellesley meet your needs for engineering? There's cross registration with MIT, and also a 5 year double-degree program, also with MIT. Look into it.</p>
<p>dsoar -- I'm a girl who's good with the trees OR the shopping. More towards the trees ('specially 'cause I only learned to tolerate shopping a year ago), but it is possible to be multidimensional...</p>
<p>As for why more girls don't want to be engineers... it's because physics is just so much more fun! Haha, I wish. We'll be outnumbered for life.</p>
<p>"Actually, a lot of people have never even heard of Wellesley.</p>
<p>So I'll put it this way, Wellesley is very prestigious to the group of people that matter in terms of graduate school, employees, etc." </p>
<p>Its the same w/HSC in VA. While I was visiting with my dad, people were like HSC! WOW! That's a great school. Now when I got back to Az people said HS What?</p>
<p>Wabash -- I think you'll find that true of many (most?) smaller colleges and universities. In the general population, schools have mostly regional reputations. So HSC is going to get "Huh?" comments in Arizona. Great small schools in the west (such as Reed, for example) are going to get "Huh?" comments here in Delaware. </p>
<p>The good news is that the people who will be very important to you in the near future (grad schools, professional schools, employers) do know of the good schools, even very distant ones).</p>

<p>If you are looking for rankings on the nightlife or party scene at any college you can check out my buddies website. It might help....If your college isnt on here, im pretty sure you can add it.</p>
<p>nope not there; not much happens around there. the greatest thing that's happened in the last 25 years is that the local town got a super wal-mart!</p>
<p>I would absolutely go to a women's college. Smith is currently my second-choice school, Mount Holyoke is in the running, and I loved Wells even before it went co-ed. If Sweet Briar weren't so prissy, I'd be thinking about them, too. (Wellesley, oddly enough, does nothing for me.)</p>
