However, I never saw much an an LGBTQ presence at all. Many families were super conservative there and many of my classmates dated guys at NC State with an eye on getting married as soon as possible.

This was 35 years ago.

Why in the world do you think it’s relevant to what happening on college campuses in 2026???

Normal, well-adjusted young women do not attend these schools any more, and normal families do not send their daughters there any longer.

As both the husband and son of Wellesley alumnae, I find the decline of these institutions profoundly sad. But it is what it is.

I disagree but am not going to take your bullsh-- MAGA rage bait.

Excellent schools who have no problem filling their classes. My kid spent time at a few of the "7 sisters" schools and there were lots of non-queer girls there.

But, I'm quite sure you'll find Liberty to your liking.

I feel so sorry for your mom and your wife. Profoundly sad to have someone like you as a family member.

Not surprising it is a lesbian school. Most who attend are lesbians.

MAGA's attack on women's colleges is strong.

Maybe it's time for previously all-male colleges (e.g., Harvard) to revert to being all-male. What's good for the goose ....

Wellesley has made it abundantly clear by whom it accepts, what it encourages, and how it communicates with the outside world that straight women are no longer welcome there.

This is strictly a school for lesbians, and prospective students should make their decision to apply (or increasingly, not to apply) accordingly.

Those post grad stats are scary

Great. Show one anti straight thing released by the school!

Wellesley is well known for attracting gay women, so is Smith College.

Yes, it would be terrible being married to a guy who isn’t afraid to tell the truth.

Straight women want to go to school from age 18-22 with people they want to have sex with. Do you remember being 20? Of course LGBTQ women would pick a woman’s college disproportionately. Why is this an issue or a surprise? Wellesley, Barnard, Smith, etc. are wonderful colleges, but single sex is a huge factor socially. Don’t you love that our country has so many types of schools for so many types of people?

I find it interesting that there are so few all male colleges. Why do you think that is?

When we visited Wellesley this year for admitted students day, we saw a campus full of independent women who seemed very smart, confident, and self possessed, straight or gay. A lot of them came across as strong leadership types. Students clearly had their own opinions and were comfortable expressing them.
