<p>its an all-girls college i just wondering how hard it was to date the opposite sex?
does the campus have strict rules?</p>
<p>You have to put yourself out there, but it’s not bad. I personally feel dating is sometimes overrated in the college setting. I feel that most people, at least first and sophomore years, mostly go to parties, hang out, and have fun. The commitment that comes with a relationship can be difficult to handle on top of academics, adjusting to a new setting, etc. If you want it, it’s doable though. Have good time management skills so you still get your work done too!</p>
<p>Strict rules? Nooo… it’s an open campus, so there’s no rules saying “guys can’t be here between such and such hour” or anything like that. Guys take classes here, are here for parties, etc. Is that what you meant by this question? Sorry if I took it in a wrong direction.</p>
<p>Wellesley is pretty much byob as far as dating “scene” goes. </p>
<p>But, despite the jokes, it’s not really a nunnery. You can’t have guests for more than three consecutive days, you must get your roommate’s permission if any guest stays over, you must escort your guest between floors, and only one person at a time is allowed in a shower stall. That’s it. The only place you sign in your guests is the dining hall. There are no curfews, and no one keeps track of your visitors specifically.</p>
<p>The above is drastically lax compared with other schools, at both religious institutions and colleges in cities. Wellesley canned its paternalistic policies with respect to guests around 1970. </p>
<p>So basically, if you can manage to snag a boyfriend somewhere else and get him to come visit you, you will not have too much trouble.</p>
<p>lol thanks.
i just always wondered how difficult dating would be in an all-girls school</p>
<p>“Strict rules? Nooo… it’s an open campus, so there’s no rules saying “guys can’t be here between such and such hour” or anything like that.” That is exactly what I meant.</p>
<p>it’s always fun to learn about how those old-fashioned rules changed though. apparently, the loudspeakers in the bell-desks (in the quad dorms) were used in the '50s (?) to announce the presence of a male visitor waiting for his girlfriend/date. it saved guys the time and effort (embarrassment?) of having to search the hallways. </p>
<p>in her visit to wellesley during her campaign, clinton talked about how wellesley students had weekend curfews in the '60s. while boys were allowed in rooms (only on Sunday afternoons), they had to observe the "two feet rule, " which meant two out of four feet had to be on the floor at all times.</p>
