<p>I second to august. It can be very scary trying to fit in and finding your niche in the dating scene. It is true that I need more than my two hands to count off my lesbian friends and less than two hands for my straight friends. But some of them just go back and forth, taking in whatever’s available to them.</p>
<p>Northampton is boasted as the #1 Lesbian Capital in the U.S. I am not so sure- yes it is lesbian friendly but I don’t see tons of lesbian couples hand in hand downtown. Makes me go, hm.</p>
<p>But the thing is, people are too busy forming new friendships at women colleges that they just don’t really think about what else is available out there for love and hugs. </p>
<p>As for the rape story, believe it or not, many Smith students are angry about this action because they’re worried that this publicity will ruin Smith’s image. The President promptly kicked the Smith student out. Smith is NOT like that at all. Students do not rape each other. We have a very strict honor code so we pretty much behave ethically and morally and we religiously follow the code. People are scared of facing the Judicial Board because no one wants to leave Smith! :)</p>
