...gender stereotypes. Harvard, with many of its students hailing from the various single-sex high schools across the country, is the perfect place to test this debate. These students’ experiences at Harvard, while as varied as those of students from coed schools, are nonetheless fundamentally unique and different from their coed counterparts. It is widely recognized that following attendance at a single-sex high school, the transition into the coed world can be frustrating. And yet there seems to be among these students a clear sense of confidence and comfort inside the classroom. Proponents of single-sex education...

Indeed, there were many moments where the rivals seemed more eager to prove how similar they were on policy. Asked how she would differ from Obama on the economy, an issue which has become the top priority for voters, Clinton began: "I would agree with a lot that Senator Obama just said, because it is the Democratic agenda." And what about that border fence, for which they both voted? "Well, this is an area where Senator Clinton and I almost entirely agree," Obama said, as he echoed Clinton's argument for more sensitivity to the opinions of local communities...
