Women's college experience without college?

<p>Hi, everyone.</p>

<p>This is probably going to sound stupid but I’ll post it anyway. :P</p>

<p>I went to a big public university (UC Berkeley) for my first year of college before withdrawing. I realized that what I was looking for in a college was a tight-knit, small, supportive community steeped in tradition. So if I do end up going back to college, I want to go to a school like Sweet Briar. </p>

<p>Anyway, if I don’t end up going to any college, I’ll feel like I missed out on that experience. Is there anything outside of college that could give me a similar experience? Almost like sororities for adults? :P</p>

<p>If it makes a difference, if I don’t go to college, I’ll be moving to NYC. </p>

<p>Thanks…sorry if it sounds stupid…</p>
