Reply To: How to remain neutral with the boys in college

Be good – yes I am single. I’m thinking about the ring idea, but the semester started 2 months ago and if I start wearing a ring, people will start asking me lots of questions, which i dont want to lie to answer.

Jewish unity – I thought about nursing and I decided it would be fine. It’s a women’s dominated field. About 8 or 9 percent of my class are men, which is considered a lot, more than other years. I decided on gedarim for myself during seminary, when i decided to go into nursing. I don’t wear makeup, dress more modestly, don’t initiate conversation with men, and avoid grouping/ studying with men. These have worked for me.

Thank you everyone for your answers. They really clarified for me what is important and what is at stake.

I would like to know how a person acts professionally. (This will help me in the future as a nurse as well.)And any tips about telling people you are shomer negiah would be great.

Thank you 🙂
