[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD looking for a similar environment found it at Smith. Not helpful if you have a son, though.

Maybe William and Mary?  Or St Mary's College of Md?[/quote]

So new to looking at women's colleges.  Any non-snarky advice re:  Smith, Wellesly, Bryn Mawr, Scripps, Barnard, others?  Basically what OP was describing with great academics and a nice community of students.  Which ones fit (and they don't really have to be mini-HYP)?[/quote]

Agree with another poster who suggested Mt Holyoke. The other women's colleges we felt had a different vibe. My daughter felt that Smith and Wellesley had a more competitive feel (especially Wellesley). She considered Scripps for a while, but didn't want to go to California. Bryn Mawr felt like a mix between Mt Holyoke and Smith, but not as fun as Smith seemed to be (not as an active a social life) - the students seemed pretty serious, but not competitive with each other, just themselves. Barnard's pretty different too since it's mixed in with Columbia and in the city - so less of a classic women's college feel. We learned that they all really have different strengths/vibes and it's important to visit if you can when/if things open up.[/quote]
