[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stand-alone women's colleges like MHC, Smith and Wellesley (unlike Barnard or Bryn Mawr) are very distinctive in culture.  A student really needs to be sure she wants that experience.  I went to Wellesley and am grateful for the education I received there and for the wonderful friends I made, but if the Way-Back Machine landed in my front yard, I'd go back to HS and choose a coed college.

Just curious. How is Bryan Mawr not a stand-alone women’s college? I get your point about Barnard but Bryn Mawr?[/quote]

True, Barnard is actually part of Columbia, but Bryn Mawr is literally next door to Haverford, the dining halls on both campuses are open to students from both schools, and students at either school can very easily take courses at the other school.   [/quote]

So, how does this make Bryan Mawr different from Wellesley? Less than 2 miles from Babson, today’s Wellesley women can take courses at Babson and vice versa. And students on the meal plan can use each other’s cafeterias. Close to 400 students cross register each year within the BOW Collaborative in Wellesley.[/quote]
