Conventional dormitories or residence halls may be either restricted to one sex or coeducational , with certain floors or areas within them assigned to men or women.
Girls studying in a single-sex setting also earn higher scores on their College Board and advanced placement exams than girls who study in coeducational settings.
Numerous studies have shown that women who attend single-sex schools tend to have stronger self-confidence, better study habits and more ambitious career goals than women who attend coeducational schools.
