Women's Studies Is Intellectually Stimulating

Our students say, Women's Studies —

• Gives you the tools to apply your learning to your life

• Your eyes are opened to things that you have never considered before

• Makes you think critically about your own life and why you have had certain experiences

• Causes you to learn a lot about yourself; to see and understand yourself differently

• Makes you a more informed citizen, which leads to a cycle of being informed and empowered

• You learn to critically analyze and deconstruct everything

• Empowering but scary; taking Women’s Studies courses removes the blinders and makes you reevaluate your whole identity and your life 

• Helped position me as being for things rather than just being against everything

• What you learn diffuses into the lives of others because you don’t just keep it in the classroom

• Professors make what you are learning real and show you how what you are learning is about the here and now and isn’t just theoretical or hypothetical
