[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Bryn Mawr, and loved it, but I went there after also having been at an all-girls high school, and even with having co-ed opportunities with Haverford guys, that many years of single-sex did me no favors socially. I felt awkward and uncomfortable around men for years after college. Now, I’ve always been very introverted (and diagnosed social anxiety post age 40), so certainly my own personality and temperament played into that. Take with a grain of salt.

Also no, not everybody assumes you’re a lesbian. Even at BMC, which at least when I was there was called “the butch of the Seven Sisters.” Just the bigots do, and who cares about them. Although it *was* fun to hold hands with my roomate (who did happen to be bi) while walking to the grocery store and give the conservative old biddies in the town heart palpitations. [/quote]

The social scene at the all women’s colleges is very different than two decades ago.  My dd went to an all girl’s high school.  Even there, many of the girls identified as lesbian.

This isn’t a criticism, a prospective student just needs to be comfortable where the majority of dating will be same sex.[/quote]

+1 Exactly. Denying the obvious is not a good idea. [/quote]
