Shh. Not allowed to say that. You will be removed from this thread. Good thing Smith students don’t post here; they would be removed as well: even Smtih admin admits it is 75%. Cite: https://www.reddit.com/r/smithcollege/comments/1jkw0tn/how_many_lesbians_are_there_really/
I went to Bryn Mawr and was never sure if we had more lesbians or just less bigotry than other campuses.
Going to a women's college isn't much different than going to another SLAC, especially since most of them are 60/40 women these days anyhow. Women speak up first in the classroom, have all of the club leadership positions on campus, and get all of the good internships and research assignments. But at my college, like most women's colleges, there are men from other schools taking classes, in the dining halls, at parties, and in the dorms at night--women's colleges are colleges, not convents.
Bryn Mawr-Haverford and Barnard-Columbia are different animals for obvious reasons. But women’s colleges have changed from what they were a generation or two ago.

However, these institutions have changed quite a bit in recent years and are now increasingly dominated by foreign students, FGLI cases, and crazed liberal LGBTQ+ or race grievance types. They simply don't draw from the same social strata they used to.
The traditional rule for Harvard men was "Lesley to bed, Wellesley to wed, and Radcliffe to talk to." Wellesley and the other 7 sisters used to educate the most intelligent, accomplished and desirable women in America. After many decades of the ravages of co-education and liberalism, that is no longer the case.
Probably best to pass them up and look into SEC schools with a strong sorority scene.
So first-generation students are "cases," and you bemoan the fact that they are now not just waving in students from the right "social strata"?
I really hope this is a troll.

You seem like you don’t have actual experience with women’s colleges.

I respect Wellesley and to a lesser extent Barnard. The rest just seem like places where LGBTQ women go to major in gender studies. I know that’s not entirely accurate but it’s my visceral reaction.
