[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD wants school that skews male. You also have to look at str8/gay ratio to see your dating options.[/quote]

They are all STEM schools...RIT, RPI, etc. that are like 75% male and 25% female.[/quote]

LOL yeah and WPI--she is interested, now how social are these guys? we have to visit. She is tired of the girl drama at her public school and kind of over it.I am glad she has a good foundation with same sex friendships--very important part of the maturation process.[/quote]

Which guys? There is a huge range. Take WPI: they have sports teams, so you have athletes; they have some fraternities, so you have some frat boys (though I'm told the frats there are not stereoptypical); they have ROTC, so you have military inclined young people; they have a lot of theater and music groups so you have a lot of artsy kids mixing in; and so on. What I have found is that the girls really band together in a supportive way when there are fewer of them. The few sororities they have are more socially supportive than exclusionary. Plus at an engineering school, the women have found the STEM girls who are their "people" in a way that doesn't always happen in high school.[/quote]
