I must admit I have a warped perspective because I was born and raised in San Francisco. However, my impression when I stayed overnight at Smith was that the lesbian population was greater in number/more outspoken than at Wellesley. And I was just comparing the impressions I got from both campuses regarding the lesbian community.
For a moment I thought they were talking about just lesbians but reading the article it seems like a lot of things were happening that shouldn't be happening in any school regardless of s-xual orientation.
