[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can only tell you about Barnard as two very close friends attended and I visited / stayed over in dorms many times.

It was a mix of women from NY/NJ/CT with both public and private school backgrounds. Down to earth jeans and tee shirt girls as well as the arty farty and always in black dresses brigade.

They generally worked very hard, were totally relaxed about being in an all female environment, had access to the city - in terms of going out and drinking in bars, or attending concerts and other events. It was a slightly smaller Columbia experience. Most were very independent people one way or another. Confident and happy to be there.

There were a few girls who weren't sure if they wanted to come out of the closet. I'm sure its more relaxed and open on that side now, a few years down the line.

At the time, the dorms were huge apartments with bedrooms for 2-4 girls, very spacious with plenty of shared bathrooms and a large shared kitchen. It was possible to not see room mates or apartment mates other than the occasional passing in the mornings.[/quote]And just how in the world would you know who is and who isn't coming out of the closet?  And why would they disclose that b to you, a stranger?[/quote]

Well it was the case for one of my two close friends and she talked about it, ok? She also talked about how she sensed she was not the only one facing the dilemma. It was not me "passing judgment" on total strangers, much like you have done here.[/quote]
