Ugh, okay I just want to clarify: All the women's colleges feel that "slut stigma," to an extent. The Senate Bus (the bus that brings Wellesley students to MIT and Harvard) is called the F--k Truck by people at MIT and Harvard. The PVTA (the 5 college bus for Smith, MHC, Hampshire, UMass, and Amherst) is jokingly calling "pushing virgins toward Amherst" by some. Barnard students get negativity from some Columbia students for "slutting up 'their'" men. I don't know about Bryn Mawr, but with Haverford and Swarthmore right there, I'm sure people say stuff about them too. MHC students feel more of this stigma than Smith students, IMO; however, Smith gets more of the "uptight butch" stigma, so it evens out. Both stereotypes are exaggerations to the point where they are essentially untrue. For example, Smith attracts more of the city-dwelling "unfriendly" type. While not all students are unfriendly, it it easy to exaggerate this point when people try to find easy ways to differentiate between the personalities of the two very similar colleges. So, the point I'm trying to get to is that EVERY school has a "student stereotype" and rarely is there significant truth in there.
And I know women with boyfriends in the consortium (most from Hampshire, actually), so it definitely isn't impossible at all! It depends on your willingness to talk to people and go out, mainly, and the rest is just about the luck game that exists in every other place in the world.
I definitely agree with Babyunicorn on the point that MHC is a type school, but if you know your type and chose accordingly then you'll be set.
