Students from women's colleges land the BEST internships! (Yet another reason to attend one.)
From Bryn Mawr College's Facebook Page:
“Ants work hard,” explains Tess McCabe ‘16. “In fact, a single leafcutter colony can consume more than the average cow.”
During her summer internship at Harvard Forest and Black Rock Forest, Tess got a close-up look at just how hard members of the Formicidae family have to work these days just to survive.

What This STEM College Student, Michelle is Doing This Summer
"Michelle Espinal ’16 is majoring in mathematics at Saint Mary’s and civil engineering at Notre Dame. She’s interning at Aceitera El Real S.A in Chinandega, Nicaragua and learning from two construction firms. The project consists of building the external structure of a turbo-generator that weighs almost 500 tons. Interpreting plans and understanding the calculations has been fun, she says."

The Joy of Graduating from a Women's College
Nicole Battistone blogged about her time at Saint Joseph College. Here's her last blog post as an undergraduate.
I sit at my laptop currently speechless. In all honesty, I am having a hard time putting words together for this post. If you have not realized already, this is my last blog post. As a first year I came to what was originally Saint Joseph College not knowing what would happen over these four years. From making new friends, to losing friends, to falling in love with my psychology major, to doing my own research, working all over campus, and practicing my photography skills, this journey has been a long, difficult, and beautiful one.
First, I would like to thank all of you who took the time to read about my experiences and “life through my lens”.
Second, I wish current and future students at the University of Saint Joseph the best! I will miss you all!
Third, you are probably wondering, “What will Nicole do next?”. I would like to officially tell you that I have been accepted into the Disney College Program and will be working in Walt Disney World in Florida! After that I will be coming back to the University of Saint Joseph to begin the graduate Clinical Mental Health Counseling program. So this may be an end to a blogging era but USJ, I will be back! This is not good-bye, it’s I’ll see you later! My last picture displayed above is on Commencement day and showcases my cap that I decorated. With that, I say farewell.
With love,
Nicole Battistone

4 Ways to Meet Men at a Women’s College (It’s Possible!)
Having graduated from a women’s college, I can tell you first hand that there are many ways to meet men while in college. In a blog post written by Carina Chen she reviews four of them.
When you attend a women’s college you’re free from distraction so you can focus on your studies. For serious students with big career goals this works out perfectly; engaging in an inspiring and support academic environment, while having a social life outside of the class room.
I think it’s the best of all worlds, don’t you?
