It was a hurdle to overcome, but once you get in the classroom it completely disappears. A gender studies program is also a part of the curriculum. Many students admit that the social atmosphere at Wabash is the biggest downside to being all-male. Even though fraternity parties are packed with women from DePauw, Indiana and Purdue Universities, the students say that it is difficult to maintain relationships. You can't just go see her whenever you want.
Every relationship is long distance here.
And yet, some students insist that even though there are no female students, it's not difficult socially. Tatem said that he doesn't think it's hard to find a girlfriend at Wabash. He does have a girlfriend at DePauw. Students and faculty members agree that Wabash's student body has a strong unification because of their single-sex environment. Men have stronger bonds because you have to be friends with the other guys.
