<p>What is the interaction you WG's have with the male gender on a regular basis? No sordid details sought...just wondering if there are guys around, are you close with "brother schools," etc. I know this comes up a lot but how does this all work? Just wonderin'</p>
<p>Depends on the type of gal. I'm pretty social and love to get off campus once in a while, so I take the bus to MIT every week and hang out with some people from MIT my roomie and I have met. I've only really met guys from MIT so far, but they've been really nice and don't look down on me just because I'm from Wellesley. There are two guys from Olin in the Japanese class before mine, and when I met them they seemed quite nice.</p>
<p>Obviously guys are not going to be as easy to meet, but it's also kind of nice because it forces you to go explore different areas or activities in order to meet interesting people. Some girls do ballroom dancing, others go to social events or mixers that Wellesley organizes. You just have to be creative and think outside the box (that happens to be the Wellesley campus).</p>
<p>Depends heavily on the person. If, like Catsushi, a student is reasonably outgoing and/or have friends/friends of friends at other schools in the area, she can find occasions to hang out with guys. If a student is, like me, basically the opposite, then not so much--which doesn't bother me, but might bother others. There are a few guys who take classes on campus and of course Wellesley students have cross-registration privileges w/ MIT, so that's another way to interact with the opposite sex.</p>
<p>Good stuff: quick profile w/o boring you with stats: she's outgoing, friendly, funny, smart, excellent writer with two novels "in the works." into books, theatre(correct spelling Pops), singing, student council. Likes the guys but not "boy crazy" as we used to say in the Dark Ages. She has just expressed some reservations about the single sex issue. But you are definitely helping. Also a big Hillary fan and Democrat I might add...her that is...Pops too!</p>
<p>p.s. also a a great dancer with a fine personality..."Pops that's the kiss o' death."-SF chiming in from next door.</p>
<p>If she likes singing and theatre, there's been a recent influx and sharing of bodies between Olin and Wellesley in terms of theatre.</p>
<p>Wellesley also has two groups with MIT connections: Counterpoint, a campus life journal, and the MIT-Wellesley Toons, an a cappella group.</p>
<p>OK WM I'm a dad...you might want to rephrase that but I get your point.</p>
<p>I didn't mean it like that!</p>
<p>Well I might add that Counterpoint is no longer an MIT Wellesley thing but is now just Wellesley....BUT yes there are plenty of activities.</p>
<p>And your daughter sounds like she would have plenty to keep her occupied at Wellesley. There are so many dance groups (they perform at various events or what not) and I have a friend who lives on the floor who is in love with Hillary Clinton. She has these funny stalkerish photos of her hahaha from when she went to a political event and saw her. (In fact, I am living in the same building Hillary Clinton used to live in....AWESOME.) We have a Democrat group, as well as a Republican group.</p>
<p>One thing I have to say is that when the boy drama begins (which is bound to happen eventually) it is nice to be able to come back to Wellesley, which acts like a sort of refuge. I also really think it's been a lot easier to bond with the girls here, and there are so many different things going on that would never happen at a co-ed college....it's just awesome. :]</p>
<p>Thanks CS you rock if I might use that term at my age...haha.</p>
<p>All good stuff...I will PM the info shortly.</p>
<p>Think Rory Gilmore without the annoying mom but remaining with the cool dad...and minus the Yale wannabe snobbery I'm thinkin'</p>
<p>It's all good ladies now get off here and do some studyin'</p>
<p>-Pops</p>
<p>BTW gals she loves the concept of "step singing" she looked it up on wiki but don't hold that against her-Pops</p>
