I gazed wistfully at the pretty coeds. 1980, Dan Millman, Way of the Peaceful Warrior:
(Philippines, US, dated, informal) A (generally young) woman, especially on the campus of a college or other educational institute.
1959: A coed is exotic with mascara on her eye lashes, demureness in a sweater, and 'the future homemaker' with a can opener. 1959, The Michigan Technic, "The Coed":
A student of either sex at a co-educational institution.
The majority of college coeds are female, but many still have trouble paying for tuition. Scholarships designed specifically for women can be useful in this situation. 2023 October 28 (last accessed), scholarships.com:
