Male College Guide

With the remaining four male colleges left, I can honestly say I don't see the significance. Colleges survive by having people continue to want to attend them. I do not find it hard to believe that males want to be around females. This happens to be the reason why I chose to live at Earhart, a co-ed dorm. I can understand why these colleges still exist. There are some males out there that wish to study undistracted by females. I also thnk the reason that there are a lot more female colleges out there is because females are more likely to not want to be around male college students. I think stereotypes and heteronormativity play a very big role in the choices made by both males and females when choosing a college. For the most part, men are expected to try to mingle with as many ladies as possible. However, females are expected to and thus more likely to be much more selective in their choice of male minglage. Think about both a male and a female that "gets around". The male is usually someone who is admired in the male community while the female is frowned upon for her choices. Even though both the male and female counterparts made the same choice, they are seen differently. Because of the expectations that society expects, I can clearly see a connection between the availability of same-sex colleges based on those expectations.
