buddhabelly Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 My high school began accepting boys a few years before I graduated. Man, were those boys popular! :lol: So I can't say that I graduated from a girl's school. The name actually changed from The _______ School for Girls to "The _______School for Girls and Boys" to just plain "The __________ School" just during my years there! And then I attended Wellesley College and then transferred to a a women's college on the west coast, from which I graduated. Names of colleges and high school removed to protect my privacy. Google, you know. Gets us every time. Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillieBoy Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 All girls Catholic boarding school for me and wouldn't you know the all boys Catholic school was a just down the way. :001_tt1: I wasn't even Catholic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimmermom3 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 All girls Catholic high school for me. It was actually a great experience. The uniforms may not have been all that attractive (navy blue knee socks here), but they sure made life simple. Hey, without boys and the latest fashions, you actually had to focus on academics. Anyone else have "Marriage" class as opposed to s*x ed? I vaguely remember writing letters to some guy at the local Jesuit high school and swapping household budgets for vacuum cleaners etc.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I didn't vote, since I didn't graduate from an all-girls school. I went to one for my junior year of high school and I enjoyed it a lot. There were a bunch of nice girls there and some good teachers. I didn't mind the uniforms either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebastian (a lady) Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 My college was only about 10% women. It was actually jarring to have more than one other woman in some of my classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane in NC Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 All girls Catholic high school for me. It was actually a great experience.

Anyone else have "Marriage" class as opposed to s*x ed? I vaguely remember writing letters to some guy at the local Jesuit high school and swapping household budgets for vacuum cleaners etc.:D Sounds like we had a similar experience, although no "marriage" class for me. I studied Latin, mathematics, read good books (and some Great ones). Community service was also part of the deal for us--I tutored English as a second language to Vietnamese and Iron Curtain refuges. Good experience. Even then my friends and I agreed that it was better not to have boys around. Few of us worried about make-up or hair styles when in school. My uniform consisted of a kick pleat skirt, a weskit (long vest with buttons) and those ubiquitous navy blue socks. :tongue_smilie: Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
