Dating at all women's colleges/unis

[Anonymous]

Title says it all. My DC is considering one or more for various reason (she is straight).
If you went to one or have a DD at one, were they able to meet boys/date? Or have non-dating relationships with men?

I realize this is far from the most important thing about college -and the womens only college offers a unique experience- but I would also not like her to be cloistered for 4 years w/ no options to date. FWIW, the one she likes best is BMC (partially b/c of location and ability to take classes at the other consortium schools in and around Philly).

Any real, and recent, experiences (and not opinions about whether you'd like that sort of experience?

This info is 15 years old but lots of dating opportunities and straight women at Wellesley. I’d suggest getting DD a car as early as she can have it with her which makes going to other schools for parties and hangouts much easier.

I have two friends who went to Bryn Mawr and married guys who went to Haverford. Granted they are 40-ish now, but the two schools are still very close together and share classes. I certainly think it’s feasible!

The landscape at women’s college NOW are heavily gay/bi. As in majority. There is a lot of pressure, even if straight, to experiment with girls. My friend’s daughter transferred after a year due to this.

Pls stick to the question. I'm not interested in these sorts of opinions.

Dp, but I think this is relevant. I have a friend who transferred from Smith because there was no real dating social life for straight women.

That was not the point of the PP, which was to state there was "pressure" for same sex experimentation. It was inflammatory, offensive, and unless there is something objective to proffer beyond one person's experience, not objective or supported.

Gay for the stay

I think Bryn Mawr would probably be one of the easier women's college in terms of meeting guys. Lots of other colleges nearby, plus it's easy to go out in Philadelphia.

I went to Wellesley and went to parties or dated guys from Tufts, Harvard, MIT, and Babson. You travel to other campuses a lot, I recommend a car as soon as allowed. A long time ago though.

Do girls at schools with imbalanced gender ratios have issues finding dates/boyfriends/etc?
It sounds stupid but my kid is at an all-girls high school and is hoping to date in college.
Many colleges these days are almost 65/35 female (outside of the service academies and a few highly STEM schools which lean male).

I was wondering if this leads to a weird dynamic for those who are hoping to find guys to date?

This is what my sister experienced at Scripps and she regretted picking it

Yeah, there’s a lot of hooking up, not much actual dating. The ratios don’t help.
