Transfer Students

<p>To clarify, i’m transferring OUT because it’s all women. it’s rural and single sex and SO BORING. is it okay to say that in my essay? that’s pretty much the only reason…</p>

<p>You need to say it in a much nicer way. No one likes negativity. Something along the lines of:</p>

<p>In my time at MHC, I have come to realize that I am happiest in a more urban setting.</p>

<p>or</p>

<p>I believe that I would prosper better as a student in a college/university that offers fill-in-names-of-facilities-and-activities that are unavailable in the smaller setting of MHC.</p>

<p>or</p>

<p>Fill-in-college/university-name-here offers a stronger program in my major field / offers the type of internship opportunities / etc. etc. that I am looking for.</p>

<p>I certainly think you can say - as happymomof1 pointed out… it needs to be in a non-negative way - that you want the enrichment of a coeducational environment.</p>

<p>I went to a women’s college myself and the debate raged then as to the pros and cons of women-only colleges. During my time, the formerly all-male schools (Yale, etc.) opened up to women and several of my classmates transferred over. It is a valid reason for transfer in the opinion of many.</p>
