Why would you ever go to an all male/female college?

College Search & Selection

<p>What would be the rationale for this?</p>

2

<p>there are many posts about it..search it up…</p>

3

<p>Um… I just did a search and can’t find anything.</p>

4

<p>anyways, no because the social life would be significantly worse</p>

5

<p>I would never go.</p>

<p>For some, it is better since there is less a need to impress and stay within stereotypes.</p>

<p>I personally hate it.</p>

6

<p>someone on CC suggested if you were LGBT, an all one gender school would be a great place to find hookups.</p>

7

<p>The appeal for all-female schools is a less intimidating environment for many females. Many females feel more secure about speaking up in class without the presence of males.</p>

<p>IMO they’re overrated. Six years at an all-girls private school is sufficient to convince me of that…</p>

9

<p>IMO people do this either you have issues or your parents dont want you to for reasons i dont understand.</p>

<p>All women’s or men’s colleges are not for everyone, but I can tell you why my daughters chose one. Academics, professors all four years, small class size, leadership opportunities, faith, study abroad opportunities, an environment built to support learning. In short - they chose their college for a lot of the same reasons that any student selects a college. To get a great education and it was a good fit.</p>

<p>In our situation, there are plenty of male students at two nearby co-ed colleges so social life limitations are not an issue. They found the school, loved the campus and all it had to offer… and here we are four years later. </p>

<p>It’s another option for a college education.</p>

<p>Seeing as I will be attending an all-male school next year:</p>

<p>I feel that it allows the student body to release themselves from gender roles/societal expectation, and furthers ones ability to learn and grow with a community without ‘distraction’. Yes I am aware that there will be homosexual tendencies on campus, however it is to my understanding that the policy sets a precedent of committing oneself to the community at hand, and to the academic endeavours to be had. </p>

<p>It certainly is not for everyone, and I am not really sure that I think the school I will be attending SHOULD be male-only, though I can certainly understand the reasoning behind making it so.</p>

<p>Whilst I will certainly groan and miss the presence of the loveeely females, I do not feel that social life will necessarily be ‘significantly worse’, only extremely different. Take for example my future schools adoption of boojies (BOO-gie), an all male dance party in which inhibitions and shirts are released. Certainly it is unorthodox, however fun is still there to be had.</p>
