[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Scripps!  Ultra-super lefty now.  Gender studies everywhere.[/quote]

[b]Considering there was only 1 Gender Studies major in the recent graduating class of 205, I take it that you must not be very acquainted with your alma mater. Sad, really. [/quote][/b]

You really don't want me to post what I actually experienced there.  I rue the day I matriculated there and will never give a penny.  And of course I meant all the courses, listed here and the fact that gender issues permeate every single bloody class on campus.  http://catalog.scrippscollege.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=15&poid=2429.  What a waste of four years![/quote]

[b]I'm sorry to hear that, but I am a bit perplexed. Wouldn't it have been easy to wander off to Pomona/CMC/Pitzer/Mudd and not have to deal with gender-related courses if they didn't appeal to you? There are 2800 courses offered across the colleges. How recent are your experiences?

The Niche surveys seem mostly positive (https://www.niche.com/colleges/scripps-college/reviews/) and the past five years average a 93% retention rate, which is pretty high (much higher than the national private college average of 66%).[/quote][/b]

My issue was what I had to deal with in dorm life.  I was young.  I am heterosexual.  I had a lesbian roommate and had to listen to her and partners every night.  College housing would not let me get a reassignment because this was the new norm and I had to learn to live with it.  Yes, I did take some classes at Pomona but I still couldn't get away from the "Lesbian is always right" attitude prevalent on the campus.  No matter what dorm I was assigned to it was right there in my face and I was the rude one if I complained about what I had to listen to five feet from my bed every night.  So I don't give money and never go to reunions.  I should have transferred the first year.[/quote]
