If she’s willing to consider College of Charleston (60% women 40% men) then she might consider a woman’s college.

Have you looked into Bryn Mawr? I think that they still give merit scholarships- one of my D’s friends got a very nice merit award from them just this year. And she did not have financial need.

Totally get the worry. My S went 1500 miles away to college and of course this was present in my mind. But I had to learn how to manage my anxiety about the worst possible case scenario. Trauma does that to you.

Plus, for my S who was interested in a very particular field (industrial design) that would have limited him to just one school in our state. And for my D, seeing that we live in a very big state, it would have limited her to almost all Texas schools only.

But respect that each family must make the decisions that are best for them.
