<p>There was a very interesting article from the Huffington Post authored by a father of a young woman who is getting ready to apply to colleges next year. The author stated that he was initially skeptical about women’s colleges but after visiting Barnard and doing some research, he became a true believer with regard to women’s colleges. </p>

<p>In addition to Barnard, my D applied to Bryn Mawr and Wellesley because she favored an all-woman college experience. My D is young (she’ll start Barnard at 16) and very shy about boys, so I believe that the all-female college experience is indeed best for her. And the data show that graduates from places like Barnard typically do better in graduate school and professionally in comparison to their co-ed peers.</p>
