[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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.[/quote]

I don't know if this is still the case, but when I was at BMC we had shared everything with Haverford including shared housing, dining, and cross-registration. We had a co-ed dorm with men (Haverford women could live in any of our dorms, and we could live in any of theirs), dining cards worked in all spaces on both campuses, and all classes were open to people on both campuses. So there were men around all the time and you could be at Haverford all day and night if you wanted. It wasn't just about "dating," there were plenty of opportunities to interact with all kinds of people in normal college ways. [/quote]

How long ago was this? [/quote]

Ugh, a million years ago. They still have cross-registration and everything, the bus runs every half hour between campuses....I just don't think they have co-ed dorms anymore at Bryn Mawr, mainly due to lack of interest. Apparently there was a lot of "bi-co cooperation" in the 60's and 70's when Haverford was still all-men, but once it went co-ed in the early 80's most people chose to reside on their own campuses. The two big exceptions when I was a student were--Haverford had the only apartment-style housing, so some Bryn Mawr students chose to live there, and Bryn Mawr had most of the foreign language immersion dorms/houses so some Haverford men lived in those.
