I think the question is: Why would anyone care/be threatened by the fact that some want to go to a womens college?

My daughter is applying to Agnes Scott College. It is all women except for the graduate programs that they offer. Some of the reasons she wants to attend :

1. They have more internships available to their students than they have students to fill them with. They have a special partnership with the CDC in Atlanta - last year 7 or 8 of their students had CDC internships.

2. From what I understand, the classes are small. You might have 30 in a freshman class, but most classes are about 14 and some as few as 4 students.

3. An incrediably supportive allumni (think mentoring and networking for employment after school).

The list could go on. The point is that the college (all women or not) is a great school with tremendous opportunity to offer the students. My daughter didn't choose it because it's all female.She chose it becasue it had the most to offer her.
