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.

Journey to a girl's college

A step towards a new world, or a step out of the delicate school life and a journey towards the college life. In other words, the hunt to the find the treasure behind the final destination of our lives.

One of the most valuable & one of the most difficult decisions of life. 

A number of questions running across our minds, should one follow his/her interest, or live upto the parent’s expectations and dreams or just a reputed college is enough??

When I was taking admission after my 10+2 these same thoughts were wandering in my mind, but the answer was one word & simple. 

My INTEREST. 

This was not all, there was something more behind the locks. Another dilemma that was waiting, for me was that the course for which I was aspiring was available only in one Co-ed college & rest were all Girls college. So, I was confused regarding my decision that should I go for a girls college in college life or not,  will it be boring? Or is it a right decision?

Admission to a girls college comes up as a big question or sometimes a feeling of hesitation and akward situation between students. As we all expect fun in our so-called  college life that we couldn't ever experience in our school life. Some of us even get the biggest gift of life; we get our life partners in that crowd. People usually think its not fun being in girls college, but the reality is quite different. It's even more fun being in a girl's college. A lot to discover about yourself, you can be the real you, you have a lot of stuffs to gossip and hangout at the coolest places with your girlfriends, you can be part of competitions and enjoy without any hesitation, you can be as crazy as you want to be & theres nothing to be shy of or show off.

So if you think girls college is boring let me tell you its much more cool being out there. There's a lot to admire and explore in oneself while reaching your goals in life. Eventually you would see that this part of girls college life turns out to be the most happening, coolest, funkiest part of your journeys.

So if you are ready to be a part of girls college then you should know that the most memorable life is waiting out for you. And if you still think why girls college then ask yourself a question ; Are boys the only element of your fun? Is the presence of boys that essential to you & your fun?

 

And if this is so, then let me tell you that you are mistaken my dear.

There is a lot more than this article about this journey which can't be defined in words or these articles. Come up & see what does this world have for you. 

Remember!

Never judge a book by its cover.
