I have to admit, it's getting harder and harder to understand the
point of male/female - only colleges -- as far as I know, most of them
allow male students from other colleges to cross-register and attend
their classes...so where's the value of the college being woman-only?

[Yah, this is coming from one who never attended such a school --sigh!
So if there's any out there who have and can answer this, speak up!]
