<p>Why chooese an all male/female school over public ones?</p>
<p>Why choose a single-gender school? Without debating the pros and cons, I would say it would be to focus on academics and minimize male-female relationship issues. There may be other reasons but this would be foremost in my mind.</p>
<p>yea, its hard to convice my parents though.</p>
<p>Have your parents visited Wabash? Many parents who visit single sex schools change their minds when they see what they offer. Good luck!</p>
<p>With me?`????</p>
<p>Ask the colleges for some information. They field this sort of thing all the time.</p>
<p>do a google search?</p>
<p>Also many recently coed schools are easier for males to get into because they are a somewhat under-represented minority. So women apply to women's colleges where they do not have this gender disadvantage. Many excellent women's LACs are slightly less competitive for admission than top coed LACs.</p>
<p>clue me in. What are/is LAS?</p>
<p>LACs are liberal arts colleges.</p>
<p>oh, thanks. however does this apply the the 3 or 4 remaing male ones? <a href="http://www.wabash.edu%5B/url%5D">www.wabash.edu</a>, <a href="http://www.hsc.edu%5B/url%5D">www.hsc.edu</a>, etc</p>
<p>Wabash, why do you want an all male school? Just curious.</p>
<p>LACs can have coed student body or a single sex student body.</p>
<p>Single-sex schools would be great if you're gay.
Other than that, the only appeal I could see would be that you could feel more comfortable sleeping naked, which is something everyone should do.</p>
<p>I disagree, kitkattail. Wabash has said that he wants to go to a single-sex school because he feels that he would benefit from seeing women only on weekends. I am interested in single-sex schools because of their other merits. Smith is one of my favorite colleges, and I am not a lesbian, nor do I sleep naked ( :confused: ). I love Smith for its other qualities.</p>
<p>"Single-sex schools would be great if you're gay." I disagree. I think a sigle-sex school would be great becuse you can say things at an all male/femal;e school and ot would be ok.</p>
<p>Wabash, what about going to a normal college and joining a frat. You can still study hard and have all the benefits of being in a single sex environment but you get the benefit of getting to know some women for real. Just a thought.</p>
<p>SLipper, I don't think that single sex colleges are abnormal...</p>
<p>Perhaps "normal" isnt the right word. I just think that much of what anyone looking for in a single sex school exists at coed ones plus a lot more.</p>
<p>Went to a single sex school. Last time I checked, I wasn't gay. Nor do I sleep in the nude. Somehow I don't think I am all that unusual.</p>
<p>No reason to knock someone else's preferences. They don't threaten you.</p>
