I went to a private all women's college. Men were allowed to attend but not graduate. It was a huge controversy. I was busy working two full time jobs as a single mother (I was the only non traditional student and the only one who commuted) and trying to deal with all the stuck up snobbery I encountered to participate in the uproar. They were more concerned about whether men could graduate and not at all concerned that I was killing myself or that there were lots of women like me that could use a college education. (I personally never understood that.)

As I understand it, they decided to allow men to graduate because enrollment was down and it would improve cash flow. I know for me personally, it didn't matter. I was screwed coming and going. I finally was fed up with the elitism and left after a year & 1/2 for a SUNY school. I was much happier and it cost a 1/4 of what the private school did.

Everyone deserves an education. I wish more schools focused on helping people like single mothers, teen mothers, the poor and the underpriviledged.
