*Ladies, let's talk about single-sex colleges.  It is NOT true that going to an all-women's college is boring.  It is NOT true that the only women who go to all-women's colleges are backward, homely, or otherwise unable to relate to boys.  Who will tell you that this is the case?  People who think that having a boyfriend is the end-all, be-all of your life, and who somehow think that going to an all-women's college means that you live in a convent.  WRONG. What IS true about all-women colleges is that you can form lasting friendships that are based on the right things (honesty, integrity, dignity), that you can advance yourself intellectually in a healthy, mature learning environment, and that you can carve out for yourself the kind of life you want to have on your own terms, without having to apologize for being smart, for having a lot of interests, and for wanting to do more than other people your age.  Being ambitious is good.  Being dedicated to yourself is good.  Only through knowing yourself can you truly become known to others.  Don't sell yourself short, girls.  You only get one chance at this.

 

Have you check out US News & World Report's college issue?  You need to.  Start planning your future now...make goals....set expectations...be great.
