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.

Sorry to pile on, OP, but this has become the case at both all women’s colleges and at boarding schools such as Miss Porter’s. It’s a shame because several schools such as Smith and MHC have so much to offer.

You've gone to or spent time at "all women's colleges"? Wow. Impressive.

Well I’m a recruiter, so to some degree yes. I have especially spent a lot of time in the Mass Consortium. But I also have three daughters and they have experience with a lot of them and that is what my comment is based off of. And my youngest daughter’s best friend attends miss porters and the pressure to be in a same sex relationship seems almost unavoidable. It’s definitely a different culture/vibe than when I was in high school and college 30 years ago and something the OP should be cognizant of.

No it is relevant. In past decades, when many more straight girls attended, there was a lot more effort from the school clubs and groups of girls to go to parties at other schools for the purpose of socializing men and finding dates. Now there just that effort or organization

This is a fair observation.
Stating that if a girl goes there she will be pressured to engage in same sex experimentation, is not.

How do you get off campus or to MIT for class now without the Senate bus if you don’t have a car?

To add I just saw an Insta post where it looked like two women took the bus to MIT.

Excuse me, but it's a "truck" , not a "bus" .

D at Bryn Mawr and loves it (location, academics, traditions, professors and STEM is promoted ) identifies as straight. Hall mates have boy friends from Haverford and Swarthmore. Roommate and friend last year gay and D has never felt pressure to experiment with anyone. D has guy friends from Haverford and in classes. D is not a huge partier but prefers to spend weekends with friends going to Philly to museums, concerts and shopping. Students at any college are experimenting and might feel
pressure to do it but might be more obvious at HWC.

Internationals are always a problem.

Of course it is a fair observation. I had two friends attend Barnard. They both faced this kind of pressure.

I find it hard to believe that there is no pressures, harassment or issues among non straight groups. Humans are humans though obviously women are less likely to do such things.

Yes, I went to women's college in early 90s. No problem with dating ...maybe a little more effort on my part but guys came to all our parties and my friends ' boyfriends always had their friends around with them on campus. Fast forward to today. Nephew's straight friend is at my alma mater. Only straight girls in her dorm. I was completely floored with this. Maybe my sister in law exaggerated but even so, this is a huge shift in demographics.

My friends and I had no problem dating men when we attended a women's college, and actually only knew one woman who was gay, but this was in the 80s. Also, dating was not really our priority. We started dating seriously after grad school and married in our 30s. Seems like kids today are still on this path.
