One Gender Colleges
According to an article on the New York Times webpage (found here http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/23/education/edlife/menscolleges.html?ei=5088&en=3b5ef346fa79415b&ex=1303444800&adxnnl=1&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss&adxnnlx=1160764885-8dPaKlH6cVf7SM6y6XirxQ), there are only 4 all-male colleges left in the United States. To me, this is good. I've always thought that one gender schools were bad in the sense that by going there, the student only really gets experience dealing with his or her same gender. Unless a teacher or faculty member, or even a retailer of a close by convent store, is of the opposite sex, the students do not really get much interaction with members of the opposite sex. Once they graduate, and enter the real world, some of them may not know how to interact with a member of the opposite gender, which could pose a problem if the have to work closely with one at their job. I'm sure there are some advantages to a one gender school, but I think this reason is more than enough for them not to exist. This of course is my opinion, in which everyone is entitled to, I mean no disrespect to anyone who has gone to one of these schools and came out perfectly fine. Turning my attention to the guy who wants to enter an all girl school, plan and simple, he shouldn't be permitted to go. It is the same thing as if a woman wanted to go to an all boy’s college; she wouldn't be able to enroll, so he shouldn't be able to either. Not to mention that all the girls who are currently enrolled there were never told when they entered that a male may enter if he wishes it. This goes against what these women were told when they sought this school out while choosing a college. Nothing against this guy, he should probably just find a co-ed college or maybe try to track down one of the few remaining all male schools.
