Agree. I went to Wellesley a long time ago. It wouldn’t surprise me if there was some sort of campaign to show support. “We’re all on a spectrum”.

Well they used to all be 100% male and no one assumed everyone there was gay. Why do you think that is?

You can say that about every college.
The vibes are very different among colleges. Some are quirky, some are intense, others are pretentious.
And you form that opinion by looking at a tiny subsection of students on the few corridors and walkways you walked that day!
Better than listening to weirdos on an anonymous forum.
