[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm interested in this question for my own DD. I have no personal experience, but it seems like the top women's colleges rank as follows in terms of opportunities to comingle with men:

(1) Scripps and Barnard: As part of the most fluid consortium, Scripps seems like it's as coed or single-gendered as its students want it to be outside of the dorms. Ditto for Barnard, given its relationship to Colombia and location in NYC.

(2) Bryn Mawr: Everyone talks about the close relationship between Bryn Mawr and Haverford, which also seem physically close to one another. And I guess there are more opportunities at Swat and in Philly.

(3) Wellesley: Good opportunities to met guys through cross-registration at MIT, etc. And close enough to Boston. But I get the sense that students must proactively leave campus, which sees few men. (Maybe should be the same tier as BMC?)

(4) Smith: Smith is part of the consortium with UMass and Amherst, but it requires lengthy bus rides. And while Northampton is certainly a cool town, it doesn't exactly seem like a hotbed of heterosexual dating activity.

Again, these are just my impressions, most of which are taken from internet research. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I'd be thrilled if my DD went to one of the schools above. But DD wants somewhat regular comingling and dating opportunities, so I think she'd be more inclined toward a school like Scripps than Smith. [/quote]

Sorry, I obviously meant "Columbia." But maybe Barnard has a great study abroad program in Bogota.
