Don't feel obligated to actually be in a relationship while here. While some people feel the need to "pretend" to be happy being single, it really does provide freedom and entertainment for extended periods of time. You'll also have more time to study. ("Entertainment"?)
The ''Boston Globe'' ran an [http://www.boston.com/news/education/higher/articles/2004/02/09/for_dateless_on_campus_idea_clicks/ article] about Williams relationships. An excerpt: <blockquote>''At Williams, the refrain is that everyone is either "married" -- inseparable from their significant other -- or prone to "hook up" with people in casual, usually drunken, encounters. Or they have no love life at all.''</blockquote>
Get tested. When you give blood they will check your blood but It might not be their responsability to tell you. You can get an aids test now in thirty minutes, most other forms can be done by urine sample. It's easy, quick, and probably free at the health center-there's no reason not to.
This is not exactly an unbiased source of funding for a report of its kind, but it is a rather interesting study nonetheless -- arguably pretty compelling evidence that college women get the short end of the stick when it comes to the hookup/marriage culture at places like Williams. (and of course, sometimes men do, too.) [http://www.americanvalues.org/html/r-hooking_up.html See here.]
