[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a really great list.  Second the poster who mentioned Smith College - Northampton is a lovely college town.  If you are looking at the 5 college area add Mount Holyoke to your list too.  Students can take classes at any of the other colleges (Amherst, Smith, Hampshire, MHC and UMass)

The women's colleges seem to be an interesting option right now.  The admissions rates are much higher than the equivalent co-ed schools, perhaps because fewer girls are choosing women's colleges.  I assume they are still providing a great education.  Unfortunately my DD goes to a girls school now and refuses to look at women's colleges (she loves her school, just wants a different experience for college).  [/quote]

[b]Since I am an alum of one - I sincerely believe that women's colleges do continue to provide an excellent education.  I think the demand is still there or else they would have turned co-ed.  But I agree your child has to be the one to decide and like anything else it may not be for everyone.  As much as I would love it if my DD when to my school I have to be realistic.[/b]

Another school to add to this list is Swarthmore.  [/quote]

Actually, all of the seven sisters are actively recruiting students from other countries who have perfect SAT scores to bring their average up.  Diversity is a good thing -- but I'm not sure that this is its proper purpose.[/quote]
