Women's College Frustration

<p>I graduated from a women’s college about 8 years ago, and I completely loved my experience there. I didn’t always love it while I was a student there - it was a relatively small campus, most students lived on campus, and if you wanted to have male contact, you had to seek it out for yourself. </p>

<p>I think it depends on your priorities and what you want your college experience to be. If you want a college experience with boys and parties and fun, then you might have to transfer to find it. The women’s college I attended was incredibly academically rigorous (the library was always packed, even Friday nights) which does lend itself to a very stressful environment, however, I felt an overwhelming sense of community and like-mindedness with the students there. I was there to get the best education possible, to take advantage of all the opportunities on campus (all of which were dedicated to women 100%), knowing that if I stuck with it, I would be getting one of the best educational experiences in the world, and that it would serve me well in the future as my college is highly regarded in academia and would help me get into a superior graduate program.</p>

<p>Think about your future and what you want for yourself. Will the years of being in a women’s college environment make you yearn for the years of “typical college fun” you missed out on? Or will you be applying to graduate programs/law school/med school and wish that you had persevered?</p>
