That's an interesting perspective about your school experience, NatalieC. When I went to grad school, the profs commented that we were the 1st all-Canadian class in a while (if not the 1st ever - can't remember) while we (the students) were struck by the fact that the 7 of us were all women. We took the exact opposite tack as the women in your class. We realized really early on (after about the 2nd week of classes) that there was "safety in numbers" and that we might as well help each other out and talk about stuff as much as we could. We set up weekly meetings to discuss how we thought our classes were going and to help each other out and I know the profs were really surprised at how we bonded like that. I am replying to your post without having read everyone's comments about Claire yet, so I hope I'm not repeating something others have said! Just interesting how experiences can differ so wildly, huh? -- Broch Talk
