<p>Scripps…</p>
<p>Georgian Court University…it’s a small private women’s college in New Jersey but has coed classes in the evening. I’ve loved it since I was 15.</p>
<p>@FreePalestine, competition for the top women’s colleges is intense. And um, Sarah Lawrence is coed. You can go if you want.</p>
<p>Bryn Mawr! My sister graduated from there in 2008 and I dated a BMC girl</p>
<p>Smith!
loved it</p>
<p>As a high schooler I’d say Wellesley stands out and appeals to me the most by far! Great location and i love the intellectualness it seems to possess. </p>
<p>Barnard behind. Then Smith.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You don’t need girl parts to go to Sarah Lawrence. It’s coed, even though the females greatly outnumber the males there.</p>
<p>I’m a Scripps alum, so I’m obviously biased. ;)</p>
<p>If I was a girl, I would definitely apply to Barnard. It’s like a backdoor to getting into Columbia. </p>
<p>Definitely not a good reason to go to Barnard. Go to Barnard for the writing programs, the dance, the sciences. Going to Barnard because you are a Columbia wannabe is like going to Barnard for the food.</p>
<p>Wellesley
Bryn Mawr (close, but a tad too small for me)</p>
<p>Bryn Mawr!!! Of course, I’m biased as well. </p>
<p>…then Wellesley.
(Admittedly, Wellesley was my first love, but knowing that I’d get rejected, I applied to Bryn Mawr ED II. A.K.A. my second love, but oh so close to Wellesley.)</p>
<p>Wellesley! </p>
<p>There are so many aspects that stand out in my mind when I think of women’s colleges, yet Wellesley offered the ones I most valued: deep discussions from the classroom to the dining halls, worldly and motivated students, a diverse yet cohesive student body, a breathtaking campus, inspiring alumnae, outstanding and committed professors, great internships such as the Wellesley in Washington summer internships, proximity to Boston, cross-registration with other colleges (MIT in particular) if I decided to pursue an interest in architecture,…and a strong sense of sisterhood among alumnae and students.</p>
<p>SMC all the way!! Best of both worlds - small, nurturing, beautiful all women’s school, right across the street from a major coed university - lots of social, extra curricular and academic opportunities added, like 2 for 1! SMC is a beautiful campus and has fabulous Study Abroad programs (as does Notre Dame). And the football games are a blast, even when the team is lousy!</p>
<p>Wellesley! </p>

<p>Part of me wants to say Bryn Mawr because that was my top choice and I had full intention of going there. But I think I’ll say Hollins since even though I ended up transferring out, I miss it a lot. I HIGHLY doubt I would be the person I am today without HU and I was only there for a year. To be honest, BMC is obviously a women’s college but I’m not sure if I would have been as passionate about women’s studies and feminist activism as I am today without the people I met at HU. It’s a little too academic (which was why I wanted to go there, so believe me, that’s a great thing!) and I think I would have gotten lost in the theory and concepts rather than doing more hands on stuff, which is what got me interested in the first place.</p>
<p>Another NJ Mom the science department at Barnard is awful! One of my best friend is going there and she’s transferring out because there’s no much choice and it is really weak. If it was not for Columbia it would be dead!</p>
<p>Smith…keeping my fingers crossed to get in there</p>
<p>Well, I’ve never visited them. In fact, I’m just a compulsively planning high school freshman (I know, I know). But from what I can gleam from their websites and reviews, I’d say Smith.</p>
<p>Hahahaha! I was the compulsively planning high school freshman too, and guess where I ended up…</p>
<p>Hehe, that makes me happy.</p>
