I admit that there may be some virtue in terms of safety at an all girls' school... but gender exclusive institutions are still pretty cringe-worthy.
The school accepted boys into classes where Western did not have equivalency, so even if we buy into some narrative that girls are only safe if segregated from boys, that was already not the case.
Yeah, as someone who went to Huron (which is right next door to Brescia and has a similar arrangement with Western), this isn't a good thing. The Western affiliates (Huron, Brescia, Kings) are a great option for getting a university degree and benefitting from the resources of a university while still getting the smaller class sizes and more intimate feel of a college. I was even able to double major with a program on Western's main campus. I got a management major from Huron and a Comp Sci major from Western.
