Social/Dating scene: I haven’t found it to be a problem. I’ve started dating someone within a month of being here, plenty of people have found random hookups (though that’s not really my thing) and I know quite a few other people who have coupled up as well. You don’t really “feel” the gender imbalance, even with the slightly higher than average gay to straight male ratio.

Enviro: Vassar has a multidisciplinary Environmental Studies program (and only offers BA’s, so…) but that’s all I know about it.

Traditions: Oh boy, there’s quite a few. Serenading, where seniors douse freshman in water (in the past it was condiments and food) and freshman sing to them as houses. Convocation and girls carrying the “daisy chain”, Primal Scream (everyone screams on the quad midnight before finals start) and others I can’t remember.
