I don’t know about men’s colleges (not like there are many left), but most women’s colleges aren’t isolated from men at all. Smith and Mount Holyoke, for example, have men in many classes taking courses through the Five Colleges consortium; Wellesley, Simmons, and the other Boston-area women’s colleges are in a very large urban area with men all around; Wells (going co-ed next year) has been part of a Cornell-Ithaca consortium for years; Sweet Briar women are constantly socializing with the men attending local colleges; and so on and so forth. You’re not living with them, but you’re around them every day.
