I go to Agnes Scott College in Decatur (right outside Atlanta), and the reaction I always get is: "Wait, an all-women's college? Isn't that... weird?"
No. It's actually amazing.
First, the academics. Agnes Scott is rigorous. Like, "writing a thesis is required for graduation" rigorous. My classes are small, my professors are brilliant, and I'm not competing for airtime with dudes who think they know everything. (Sorry boys, you know it's true.)
Second, the community. There's something special about being in a space designed for women to lead. Everyone is in clubs, everyone runs something, everyone speaks up. The confidence you gain is real.
Third, Atlanta access. We're in Decatur, which is a cute little town, but MARTA takes you right into Atlanta. Internships, culture, city life—it's all there.
Fourth, the "Scottie" network. Alumnae are everywhere and they look out for each other.
Is it for everyone? No. But if you want a tight-knit community where you're pushed to be your best self, don't write us off. Any other Scotties on here?
