All male colleges

I found that there are only four all male colleges left. The New York Times article says Hampden-Sydney, Wabash College, Morehouse College, and Deep Springs are the only colleges left. The article also says that there are not many males left that would like to be in a single sex school, but the article also says that this is wierd since there were about 250 all male schools left in the mid 1960's. But I think that it is a good and bad idea to have schools with only one sex. It is good because the focus level will be better and the pretty girls won't be keeping the good boys from working hard. But I know that I would hate to be at an all girl school so that could be bad for the part of college that is supposed to be fun. What was the purpose of creating the separations? I think that if the original reasons for having these schools were found and held to again I think that more people would have attended the schools before they were turned into coed schools. But soon I think that all the single sex schools will go away.
I was not able to find the article on the boy who wants to get into the all girl college, but I am wondering what he is thinking. I was wondering if he is feminie so he thinks that he should be with females or if he is just impressed at the level of the school. Just putting myself in his situation, I would never want to go to an all boy school. I would feel wierd and completely out of place. I also asked myself if he is just uncomfortable with being around boys and would feel better around girls. Asking myself all of these questions I still wouldn't accept him into my school unless he had some type of serious issue with himself or if my school was his last resort.
