There's no place like home
From Charm: the Career Girl's Guide to Business and Personal Success, by Whitcomb and Lang:
"If you're lucky enough to get into one of the residences run for business girls, you'll have the fun of college dorm living at quite low expenses. ... You are surrounded by girls who have the same interests and problems. Usually a happy community life prevails, with the girls finding dates for one another, swapping hats and jewelry, and pitching in when someone has a big job to finish. There's always someone who's good at setting hair or altering dresses and always someone who has plans for fun that can include you."
[Oh, sure, it's all fun and games until your landlady tries to sell you into slavery. Shu-sho, shu-sho!]
Ahem.
So where are these places now? It kind of sounds like fun, and definitely like something that could come in handy in a place like New York or Silicon Valley.
