<p>We had a pretty great discussion about this on the Dartmouth board, so I'm just copy pasting that OP.</p>
<p>"I'd like approach a slightly provacative subject.</p>
<p>Without being explicit (remember parents and grandparents are on this board), describe your sexual attitudes.</p>
<p>Are you the type of person who will jump in bed with the first available, functioning member of the opposite (or same) sex. Or do you prefer to wait six months? a year? until marriage?</p>
<p>Are you accepting of homosexuality? Could you have a gay roomate?</p>
<p>What about interracial dating?</p>
<p>I'm interested to hear some of your thoughts.</p>
<p>Again, do try and discuss this issue with some maturity, I don't want some principal to come on here and think we are a bunch of pervs."</p>
<p>marriage....definitely</p>
<p>yeah i think interracial dating is fine... i am accepting of homosexuality.. I am not sure how I would react to having a homosexual roomate, as I have not been in that situation before... however I think I would not mind too much..</p>
<p>In terms of how long I would wait... probably between 2-3 months if in a relationship.</p>
<p>Prefer to wait (and wait, and wait), although a lot of the men at Tufts whom I dated really weren't accepting of that. (Must say, I really prefer the South in that regards.)</p>
<p>Very accepting of homosexuality and would be fine with a gay roommate.</p>
<p>Interracial dating is fine - been there, done that, and it was a good experience. It was very much a non-issue for our friends. Many of my friends also dated people outside of their race.</p>
<p>I certainly knew a lot of people who were very reserved sexually, but it did seem as if the guys were very intolerant of that. Just my feeling, and, as I said, I like the South.</p>
<p>Since we're on the subject of sex, I have a few questions? </p>
<p>1.) How are women treated or seen as in the classroom and outside? Is their a high rate of sexual assault or harassment crimes at Tufts? </p>
<p>2.) And, ariesathena, you said that you were accepting of homosexuality and interacial dating does that represent the view of most of the student body? Is homosexuality and interracial dating prevelant on campus? </p>
<p>3.) How easy is it to date at Tufts? What's the scene like? Is it possible to date from the surrounding colleges that characterize Boston?</p>
<p>"2.) And, ariesathena, you said that you were accepting of homosexuality and interacial dating does that represent the view of most of the student body? Is homosexuality and interracial dating prevelant on campus?"</p>
<p>That certainly does represent the majority view of the student body, at least as far as I can tell. I never heard of any problems with interracial dating. Just a stat - the class of 2009 is about 34% non-white. I had a lot of gay friends, so I can say that homosexuality is fairly prevelant - people are pretty open and accepting of it. Never really heard any problems with homosexuality, either. </p>

<p>I did find that women were treated well in the classroom and outside, and I'm an engineer. :) Tufts is certainly housebroken for women. Very few problems there.</p>
<hr>
<p>I'll let current students answer the dating questions.</p>
<p>I won't answer the first question in case my parents wander over to this board...</p>
<p>I am completely accepting of homosexuality, although I feel almost condescending saying I am "accepting" of something that is not a choice someone makes.
I have friends who are gay but have never had friend who was a lesbian, so a gay roomate would be a new experience (I'm a girl, obvi). I doubt I'd have a problem with it though, it could even make some things easier.</p>
<p>I'm biracial so interracial dating is pretty tough to avoid in my case ;)
I've had some difficult situations because of it, but I think it can be wonderful.</p>
