[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mills, Hampshire & Sweet Briar seemed somewhat well-known to me but the former closed & the latter two are barely hanging on. St. Joes in PA acquired two colleges in the last year so they’re doing better than I would have expected.[/quote] Women's colleges are a specialty school from a somewhat bygone era (Mills/Sweet Briar) not really typical and not highly ranked as the others. Mills merged with Northeastern which is not a bad approach. Hampshire was an odd tiny school, founded not that long ago in an area dense with colleges. It was sort of more an educational experiment than a full-blown traditional institution. These examples support the claim that it's very low-ranked schools or specialty schools that are tending to close. Similarly the Vermont schools that were unusually tiny (Marlboro, Green Mountain).[/quote]
