Myths about Girls College

When a woman decides to attend an all women’s college, she is making a huge decision in her life.

Notice, I say “woman” not “girl” because as the old saying going for all female colleges, “We are not a girls’ school without men; we are a women’s college without boys.”

When a female makes the decision to attend a women’s college, she also has to battle several myths that often go along with them.

Here are the top myths most girls face:

We are all major feminists who are concerned with women’s issues

While some women at women’s colleges do fit this description, not everyone on campus is exactly like this. We all vary based on our backgrounds, experiences, etc. 

We eat too much and do not dress up because there is no one to impress

While yes, we do have our bad days when we want to just pig out and eat Ben & Jerry’s, we do dress up for class and watch what we eat. We are just lucky to have the option of not having to dress up because we have no boys to impress in class and dressing a certain way does not have an influence on how we are graded. Teachers want us in class to learn, not for a fashion show.

We are all lesbians

No, of course we’re not all lesbians. We like boys and some like girls.

We were not smart enough for co-ed schools

Super false. If anything, all women’s colleges are more competitive because they only accept women.

We are all either boy-deprived or never meet boys

Nope, many of us have boyfriends or go out on the weekends to meet boys. It is not like the college refuses to let us meet or ever see them. Back in the old days, the all women’s colleges used to set up mixers with the coed schools and host dances and invite boys only so the women could meet men.

We have a harder time getting jobs

Most people think we are socially deprived and will not be able to succeed in the “real” world because we have only been surrounded by women for our entire college experience. Actually, women who graduate from all women’s colleges are more successful and do very well in the “real” world.

So girls do not mind what people say and enjoy college Life in girls college………………………we love ourselves and do not need a boy to enjoy our life.
