<p>HS Mom, Do you think your son would mind receiving an email from Wabash? If so, he probably should send you a personal message via the CC options.</p>
<p>I got in at Wabash for the Class of 2009. It has provided me with great financial assistance..as I was in need of it. It has awesome academic programs. I am liking it even more after getting accepted. As I explore it thru it's website, I find the place totally wonderful and dazzling. </p>
<p>Well I agree tht gettin in at Men's college doesn't mean tht u are gonna be female deprived or anything. It doesn't mean tht u are jailed away frm girls forever. You can have plenty of interaction with them over at the weekends. Well I have some High school seniors who study at Wabash. They have prettier Girls than other seniors who went to Co-ed places.;). Hope this piece of news deprives you off ur insecurities.</p>
<p>I reiterate the question: I don't know why people have no problem with females going to Smith or Wellesley but shudder at the thought of males getting the same type of support and experience at a school like Wabash or Hampden-Sydney?</p>
<p>Well the place rocks..but a small inquiry abt it's standing in Grad schools? How is it considered by the Grad schools?</p>
<p>Blip, I agree - I have been really bothered by the whole suggestion that attending a male single sex college is an issue when no one seems to ask these same questions when someone is looking at Smith or Wellesley. </p>
<p>Wabash grads do very well with grad schools and a very high percentage go on to grad school. Wabash also has an amazingly tight network of alumni - it's small because it's a small school, but more Wabash alumni are in CEO and other executive positions than alumni from some ivy schools. (No flames here, this is directly from Wabash and other published sources)</p>
<p>Wabash: Don't take my comment in a bad way, I didn't mean to criticize Wabash for being an all-male school. In fact, I attend an all-boys high school right now. However, from my experiences at my high school and when comparing these experiences with the years I was in a co-educational system, I can tell that there are certain positive aspects to co-ed schools that outweigh any negative aspects to them.</p>

<p>Please expatiate.</p>
<p>Firstly, I feel like I've missed out on having relationships with girls. It's more challenging to have a girlfriend or even to talk to girls because you no longer have the opportunity to see them on a daily basis and interact with them. Secondly, I feel that having an all-male educational system makes the students lose a sense of the "real world" - where they are forced to interact with the opposite sex as well. Thirdly, you don't ever hear opinions from females (since males and females think in different ways); at my school, there's a certain degree of sexism that results from the male-dominated system where many jokes are aimed at females and degrade them. These three reasons are just from personal experience at my own high school, so I cannot comment as to if they are how things happen at Wabash.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, as others and carolyn in partciular, have pointed out, Wabash College is an excellent institution.</p>
<p>Marbles, all good points. Thanks for sharing your experience (my son, by the way, refused to even look at the all-male high school I wanted him to go to :) ) I think the bottomline, Wabash, is you need to find a way to visit these schools, stay overnight, and talk to as many people there as possible in order to see if they are right for you. But, again, I recommend that for ANY school. Best of luck.</p>
<p>My dad and I visited HSC. It was great! I kinnda felt bad tho b/c I did not have any questions perpared for the campus tour seeing as I had them all answered during the "interview" An A plus campus. big and spaceous.</p>
<p>I got a new admissions person for HSC so what do I do now?</p>
<p>This shouldn't make a difference. Sometimes they shift areas as they make new hires or as admissions counselors want a change. I am sure whoever gave you the interview made notes. That person may still be on staff, for what that's worth, just not covering your state anymore.</p>
<p>so i don't need to reintrodouve myself?</p>
<p><em>reintroduce</em></p>
<p>I am certain that H-SC cares about its prospect files, so they've got record of you.</p>
<p>If you wanted to send a note to say hi to the new person, of course you should feel free to.</p>
