Williams seems to be much higher regarded by her classmates even though they aren't too far off in the rankings. So that's her concern about doing ED[/quote]

You can't just be "fine" with an all-women's college.  You have to really want that experience and be sure you won't miss having men as classmates and friends.  Ask me how I know.  [/quote]

How do you know ?[/quote]

I'm a Wellesley alumna.  Wellesley offers excellent teaching and a great alum network, but if you enjoy having men as friends, you're out of luck.  I love my Wellesley friends, but having had lots of guy friends in HS and later in law school, I missed that at Wellesley.  It felt artificial and weird.  [/quote]

In your experience, did you notice that either you or your classmates lacked a bit regarding development of social skills in a co-ed environment ? TIA[/quote]

I wouldn't say that; my point really has less to do with my post-Wellesley experience (as I noted, I had plenty of male friends in law school, one of whom is my husband of nearly 30 years :)).  I just felt like the social scene of mixers and taking the bus to MIT and Harvard was odd.    [/quote]
