<p>I thought this would be a fun thread.</p>

<p>What's your favorite women's college? It could be the one you would most want to attend, the one that appeals to you most, or just the one you think is "coolest"</p>

<p>Mine is SMITH.....</p>

<p>smith right after =]</p>

<p>MHC :slight_smile: for all the right reasons!</p>

11

<p>Barnard by a mile. Couldn’t ask for anything better.</p>

12

<p>Gotta represent for SMITH!</p>

13

<p>absolutely nothing stands out about barnard.
if it weren’t affiliated with columbia and located in ny, i doubt people would consider it.</p>

14

<p>That’s pretty harsh niightingale. Nothing may have stood out to YOU about Barnard, but that doesn’t give you the right to criticize other people’s choices. </p>

<p>I fell in love with Barnard when I visited and almost went there. I loved the community, loved the city life, loved that it had it’s own distinguished faculty even though it was part of a larger university, and I loved that I could get a degree from Columbia while having an intimate college experience. </p>

<p>On the other hand, I never gave Wellesley a second look. Absolutely nothing about it stood out, and I think if it wasn’t a woman’s college close to Boston, I wouldn’t even have thought of it for a moment. </p>

<p>This thread is about your personal favorite school, no need for rudeness.</p>

<p>Neither Haverford nor Vassar is a women’s college, though Vassar used to be. Haverford, however is affiliated with my favorite women’s college, Bryn Mawr (D graduated from there in '08)</p>

16

<p>thanks Smithie, i think you put it plainly</p>

<p>This is not to attack, this is to talk about the ups</p>

<p>RE: Barnard</p>

<p>Yeah, I think that was really harsh. Here’s why I loved it:

  • excellent programs in English, Creative Writing, and Anthropology
  • access to extensive internship opportunities
  • access to a research university
  • brilliant faculty
  • small class sizes
  • location (NYC!)</p>

<p>Smith is so cool…</p>

<p>Bryn Mawr is amazing, I love it.</p>

<p>Smith is by far my favorite—I’m attracted to the location, the innovative housing, the emphasis on science, and the great disability services. However, I would also love to go to Agnes Scott, a similar women’s college that’s closer to my hometown. </p>

<p>My least favorite women’s college is Mount Holyoke. Once upon a time Mount Holyoke was my first choice, but the admissions office responded to my request for an interview with a terseness one associates with traffic cops. As for my “I’m interested, here’s more about me” e-mail, they didn’t even bother writing back. The whole business made me worry about the level of kindness (or lack thereof!) in the ranks of the MHC administration. Let’s just say that they lost themselves an applicant.</p>
