<p>In college towns (SPECIFICALY BOSTON), do people from the different colleges mingle a lot? I really want to go to Wellseley, but I am concerned with the all girls aspect. I'm in all girls school now and guy interaction is minimal, and I want to make sure i ENJOY college and get to meet guys from all over</p>
<p>I have friend who goes to Mt. Holyoke and she said that there's quite a bit of interaction between them and Amherst students. She's taking a class at Amherst too I think.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure that at an all women's college, there's still going to be guys that come by and women that go off campus to meet guys. It may be harder, but you'd definitely be a hotspot for men to drop in! lol...
You'd probably have to find someone via your church or other off-campus social events.</p>
<p>Wellesley students come into Boston all the time -- there's actually a bus that runs from Wellesley to points in Boston/Cambridge on a regular basis (hourly?).</p>
<p>At some MIT frat parties, there are probably more Wellesley women than MIT women sometimes.</p>
<p>In a different case, college people in Manhattan do mingle. I actually go to a tea house in chinatown, and I met students from NY Institute of Tech, Pace, NYU, CUNY Baruch, CUNY Brooklyn College, and students from numerous high schools</p>
<p>I go to college in Manhattan as well...haven't really been able to "mingle" with kids from other schools though. Certainly I see them around when I go downtown and stuff, but no social interactions at all.</p>
<p>at my school, we had three our four colleges in the town.. we mingled with the other colleges. i even joined a club at another college.</p>
<p>What about... Bryn Mawr, Haverford, Swarthmore, and UPenn? Apparently, they're within a 10 mile radius... which is ridiculously tiny to me, especially for all Tier 1 schools.</p>
<p>A lot of interaction there?</p>
<p>I think you should add Drexel to that list too.</p>
<p>In Boston, people from different schools definitely mingle alot. If by the end of your first semester you don't know at least 5 people from other schools, then something went wrong. I find myself hanging out at other schools more on the weekends than i do my own(Northeastern), just because most things are within just a few t-stops from me. i can name a few schools off head(BU, Suffolk, wentworth, and a mix of schools' frats-ex. MIT & Emerson frats), located at most a 20 minute walk from me.</p>
<p>UPenn is very nearly in center city Philadelphia, while the other schools are more on the outskirts of it in more suburb-y areas...I don't honestly know because I've never met anyone who goes to one or been to any of them so I guess that says enough about how much they mingle. Drexel and Penn are literally across the street from each other, on the other hand. I wouldn't say there's a lot of mingling but certainly a lot more than in-city/out-of-city schools.</p>
<p>Yes, usually kids from different colleges located in the same towns do mingle...the less there is to do the more they HAVE to mingle haha.</p>
