[quote=Anonymous]My DD has also applied. We spoke with quite a few female engineering students during an open house last year. They all said that the ratio was fairly low. 25% is about correct. They mentioned that the atmosphere is generally fine. They have not experienced any blatant sexism and their classmates seem cooperative and receptive to their ideas. Of course, they were trying to sell the school, so who really knows. All of the female engineers we spoke with were on members of the various technical/robotics teams, so it was good to see that women were included and key members. We have a friend’s daughter who attended Ohio State. She said it could be a pretty brutal environment. At times she was one of one or two women in the class and the young men seemed to question their intelligence and abilities. She sometimes had trouble finding study groups. She did soldier on and graduate, and is now gainfully employed. Does make me a little worried.[/quote]
