<p>To all the girls on here, would you consider a women's college- why or why not. If you are AT a women's college, what do you think of it? </p>
<p>To the guys- how do you feel about women's colleges, do you think they are sexist? I mean I think there is only one all male university allowed in the US. (or maybe 2 idk..still, EXTREMELY FEW).</p>
<p>Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuump.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t consider a women’s college. My high school has a really skewed gender ratio–3 girls for every 1 guy. At this point I really can’t stand being surrounded by almost all girls. It would be worse if there were absolutely no guys. Guys are less annoying to me lol.
P.S. There are more than 2 men’s colleges in the US. Not sure of the exact number but I think its in the 10s or 20s.</p>
<p>No, there are def 3 or less. I’m not talking about seminary collegs, yeshivas, or other strictly religous institutions, I mean liberal arts colleges…</p>
<p>There are three all-male 4-year colleges at present:</p>
<p>Hampden-Sydney College
Morehouse College
Wabash College</p>
<p>There two 2-year institutions:</p>
<p>Deep Springs College
Williamson Free School of Mechanical Trades</p>

<p>One of the great losses in US higher education was the mass conversion of all-male institutions to co-ed status. Almost every argument that can be mustered at present for an all-female educational environment could also be used to support the existence of all-male colleges and universities. However, before that massive shift occurred women were still outnumbered in higher education and the doors of the most prestigious institutions were closed tightly against them. Another factor that is not much discussed is that the institutions were looking for their own survival in the face of a very real, and very frightening drop in student population projected for the mid-1970’s and onward. For many institutions going co-ed was not a matter of gender equity, but rather of doubling the applicant pool.</p>
<p>it’s sexist.</p>
<p>Yeah that’s what I think as well, it’s def sexist.</p>
<p>I know that I wouldn’t fit in as well at a women’s college, as I tend to fit in better with guys. I understand why some people would prefer that type of environment, though.</p>
<p>It’s sexist! You don’t see Dartmouth or Harvard remaining an ALL BOYS school.</p>
<p>Even Vassar has become coed.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Dartmouth and Harvard are major research institutions. It would be sexist to remain all-boys. It’s different if it’s a liberal arts college.</p>
<p>I think women’s colleges have the right to exist. Men’s colleges have the right to exist, as well. That doesn’t mean I agree with their policies, and I definitely would not ever attend a women’s college (as my visit to Scripps informed me).</p>
<p>I went to an all women’s college (Mills) and loved it. My son is seriously considering Wabash. It is about the school’s vibe. It is not great for everyone, but it is not really sexist. In this day and age, all these private institutions can stay single-sex for as long as they continue to have decent endowments, alumni suppport and students willing to attend.</p>
<p>What’s hypocritical is that a few decades ago when women were demanding that just about all all-male schools start taking women, they thought it was just fine that many all-female schools remain so.</p>
<p>Also hypocritical are women’s schools that claim to place a high value on diversity, yet exclude men. Duh, what’s wrong with this picture? I don’t care if some liberal academic decrees that gender isn’t part of diversity…anybody with half a brain knows it is. </p>
<p>Bottom line for me is I have no problem with all-female schools, or predominantly black schools, etc. But those who promote such schools have no right to complain if other groups want to have schools that are predominantly their group (white, Jewish, Irish, Communist, whatever).</p>
<p>It was several decades ago, so I hate to sound harsh, but get over it. Schools that are going coed now are mainly doing it now due to low enrollment or alumni pressure. In many cases the biggest problems came from public insitutions that were still single sex or schools that showed advantage, such as the Citadel. Looking at the diversity stats of so many of the schools here, I would say that homogeneous is the norm and diversity is the wish that is rarely fulfilled.</p>
<p>Is Girl Scouts sexist because it’s limited to girls? Why not accuse everything meant gender-exclusive of being sexist? </p>
<p>Part of why there are women’s colleges and HBCU colleges is rooted in history. In the past, women and blacks were a small minority of college graduates. </p>
<p>Many all-male colleges became coed decades ago because the demand existed, more women were aspiring to higher education due to the feminist revolution. I don’t know of any such demand currently on a similar scale of women’s colleges to go coed.</p>
<p>I would never consider going to an all girl colleges, I find girls to be extremely catty and I gotta have mennn!</p>
<p>I love watching football that’d be a little hard</p>
