life without boys

For me, life “without boys” meant that I could relax. I could roll out of bed, throw on whatever, and get breakfast. I could go to class in something comfortable, no need for good jeans or makeup. I could focus on the class and the teacher and the material being taught, without the side action of flirting or worrying what the cute guy thought about what I said. The other women tend to be nicer, more supportive and better friends without men around. There is fun, laughter and comraderie and it is not boring.

However, it does mean that much of your social life takes place off campus. when you meet a guy, you might go on an actual date - as opposed to just sleeping with the guy down the hall. And if you are really ambitious- you can date a guy at MIT, a guy at Havard Law and a guy at Harvard business and none of them will be aware that you are dating the others.

I guess it just depends on what “boring” means to you.

I frankly found the social life at my top 5 law school after Wellesley much more limited than the options I had in college. I also found the class experience distracting with all the social ineractions taking place. For me, it was better keeping my academics separate from my social life.
