ITA with Lamia. I did go to get an education; the dating possibilities honestly didn’t enter into the equation. Both worked out fine. And I honestly don’t know if the lesbian/straight ratio is different at women’s colleges than at coed. Nobody really cared. And Wellesley, for one, has more applicants than it can handle; may have been The Hillary Factor. ---

**First, I’d like to give a shout out to all the Seven Sisters grads out there!** **Green Bean** , I’m a Mount Holyoke alumna (class of '95) and damn proud of it! 😃 **ISiddiqui** , > [@](#): > > My g/f, who transfered out of Holyoke (because they were too much like Smith… and her roommate declared war on her for being straight ) I don’t know which is worse, MHC being a hotbed of radical lesbianism or being too much like Smith. :eek: Just kidding! I had to do some reseach for a course and visted Smith alot. I liked their campus better. At least they had some form of civilization around them. And the Smithies were cool chicks. And I second your girlfriend, I didn’t quite get the joke for MHC. Although I did get the joke for Wellesley and Smith. IMHO, Smith’s connection with lesbianism is due more to the college being located at the “lesbian capital of the Northeast”: Northhampton, MA. I don’t think Smith had any more lesbians than any other of the Seven Sisters. **Mehitabel** , > [@](#): > > Yep, we’re pretty much divided into dating Harvard/MIT guys over there. I was the latter–no pearls for moi! My high school civics teacher told me that I’d be dating Havard guys if not Yalies at the least! What did I get? UMass and the Coasties! Ugh! :mad: Seriously, I agree with **Lamia**. In fact, all the colleges I applied to were women’s colleges. My alma mater’s version of the bed/wed rhyme: “Smith to bed, Holyoke to wed.” What’s with all this Smith-bashing? 😛 **bouv** , > [@](#): > > I hear stories from her and basically have it confirmed that yes, Bryn Mawr has an unusually high amount of lesbians, even for an all-women’s college. I’d like to see the research done for that project! :dubious: I went to MHC a flaming heterosexual and I remained a flaming heterosexual on graduation day. Of course, that’s not to say that the thought didn’t cross my mind. But can you blame me? I had only UMass and the Coasties to choose from! ---

We all know Lisa is going to the finest public school that South Carolina has to offer! ---

I went to Wellesley in the mid 80s. It wasn’t crawling with lesbians but many of them were very open about their orientation, which was fine. I don’t remember anyone giving a shit one way or the other. My freshman year, several lesbians took the opportunity of “Lake Day” (which was a random day when they’d cancel classes so everyone could enjoy the spring weather) to go topless. A live and let live attitude definitely prevailed. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/seven-sisters-fantasy-scene-in-tonights-simpsons-episode/155547.md?page=1)
