Life at Lesley
"...[Lesley] was a safe environment."
"It was small, intimate, friendly..."
"In my class I seemed to be the only [foreign student]..."
"We had some strict rules..."
"One never, ever wore slacks..."
"Well I learned that they had a lot of boyfriends and went to a lot of parties..."
"I would open my window to anybody, I didn't know any better."
"...you would meet friends and go off and be pretty free."
"There was no such thing as pants in classrooms..."
"Well we were held to an honor code..."
"...I did not feel any constraints whatsoever."
"...it wasn't even in the era we were living in actually, it was like the era before."
