Mississippi University for Women, MI (another women's college, about 10K tuition and you would likely qualify for a merit award)

<p>As odd as it sounds, MUW has been co-ed since 1982, I believe. Somewhere around there. In any case, they are indeed co-ed.</p>
<p>Wow, hard to believe but you are right. I wonder how many guys have not considered it because they thought it's a women's college.</p>
<p>Very lengthy explanation that involves multiple Supreme Court cases, but the basic answer is that MUW remains committed to the education of women even though they have been ordered to admit men, so the name has remained to reflect that focus. Same with Texas Woman's University, which is also co-ed but is only about 5% male (I believe MUW is above that). Simply put, they are women-focused rather than women-exclusive.</p>
<p>MUW does actively recruit men -- they feature them on their admissions information, go to a lot of co-ed transfer fairs, offer male housing, etc. -- but I think the fact is that, at the end of the day, they probably don't care if many men go or not, so leaving the name as it is reflects that. They admit men because they have to, not because they want or need to.</p>
<p>Douglass at Rutgers was the last public women's college, and they were only permitted to remain gender-biased with their admissions because Rutgers University as a whole admitted men, just not that particular college. Since they offered the same programs, it was not seen as denying any particular privileges to men. They still have a female-only Douglass program there, even though as of last year it is no longer its own separate college due to the restructuring of the university as a whole.</p>
<p>A private example would be Carlow University, which went co-ed in the '40s but still remains women-focused. They went co-ed for different reasons, of course, but that's another "women's college" that really isn't.</p>
<p>And that's probably more than you wanted to know. :p</p>
<p>Well, I'm a Vietnamese student and the reason I do want to study in US is just I love it. Maybe Canada, Aus, New Zealand may be attractive but US is the only one I love. My most preferred location is Boston because my relatives live there, may be it'll be better to live near them. That's the reason why I pay attention to the BC and BU, but to my knowledge, they offer almost nothing to int' student. Maybe I will follow your advice and apply to some public schools in order to pay less. Now, I am looking for some public safties, anyone advise?
And the if anything goes wrong, I will find a community college to jump in. Maybe I'm a bit stubborn to keep wanting to studying in the US, but it's my dream when I was a kid. Again, thank everybody so much!</p>
<p>U Mass -Boston is about $12,000 --tuition and fees- for out of state students. Of course, room and board, books and other living expenses will add to your costs, particularly in expensive Boston.</p>
<p>You also could check out U Mass.-Amherst and U Mass.-Lowell as well as any other branches of the public university system in Mass.</p>
<p>Thanks for the historical input, RoughWinds. It's interesting to hear that there are a few public universities that are not too fond of the idea of going co-ed. I've tried to find out how many men there actually are at UMW but neither Collegeboard nor the statistics on their own website reveal the answer. Wikipedia suggests 15%.</p>
<p>tee8tee, I am still not sure what kind of college experience you are looking for. In your first post on this thread you said you are looking for LACs, and later you mentioned that you wouldn't mind attending BC, BU, or maybe one of the UCs which are about as far from a LAC as one can get. Could you clarify that, please?
Oh and yeah, I guess all internationals here are quite stubborn when it comes to their intent to study in the US :D</p>
<p>hello everyone i em new so can u guys help me i mean i wanna go abroad want to study in michigan but don't know abt the universities i shd apply i want to do medical can u guys name a cople of universities or give me some links byeeee</p>
<p>The reason for LACS is they offer lot of fin aid
The reason for BC,BU,UCs is my relatives live in Boston and California</p>
<p>If your family is in Boston, Bunker Hill Community College is a very good school and has a huge international population. If you went to UMass-Boston, you might be able to save money by living with your relatives.</p>
<p>Flagler college in Florida has a tuition of $11,800 and internationals are eligible for merit aid</p>
