[quote=Anonymous]OP, in what sense do you think it will not push her enough?  Social or academic?  If academic, I would not worry at all. They are all strong colleges.  Socially, there are opportunities but they are different.  For my daughter, it was excellent.  All of the leaders are women so it’s natural to go for leadership opportunities as a woman.  My kid was a stem kid, being in the lab was normal and natural and it was comfortable, with no guys talking down to her.

No, everyone is not a lesbian!  My daughter is not, nor are her closest friends.  Are there more lesbians that a coed school? Yes, but what difference does that make if you are not interested in dating them anyway? There are opportunities to socialize with other local coed schools.  My daughter went to Smith and she and her friends went to parties and took classes at UMass.

Overall, for her it was a great match and a formative experience.  She is in an excellent grad program now at a majority male stem school and is doing great.  She has a ton of confidence in her abilities and is comfortable with herself. I honestly could not have asked for more from an undergrad program.

Her only complaints were the food and the weather, so not bad.[/quote]
