[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't expect high status, women-only colleges to be better for a young woman with anxiety. They are supportive places, but groups of smart women working really hard sounds to me like a recipe for collective anxiety growth! (This is TOTALLY gender-stereotyped--so take it with a grain of salt--but as a woman with anxiety issues, I saw how my all-female grad study group could ramp each other's anxiety levels up convincing each other that impossible perfection was required--when I worked with more mixed gender groups, there was something about the men's combination of obliviousness and confidence that was reassuring--"if that unprepared guy isn't worried,maybe I shouldn't be either..."). I do think that SLACs are likely more supportive than bigger universities. Yes students can be more invisible, but you can also really get lost. I would just choose a non-pressure cooker SLAC.[/quote]
