[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS is interested in learning more about Vassar but he's a bit worried about the gender ratio - 65 (female) to 35 (male). Does anyone have a DS at Vassar and what has his experience been? Has he been able to fit in? What is Poughkeepsie like to live in?

DS is an extroverted straight male interested in social sciences, he's been in varsity sports but is not planning to play team sports in college maybe casual or intramural sports, likes being active and social. Potential majors would be be poli sci or economics, hobbies are music production and comedy/acting, pretty chill but hard-working and motivated kid. Strong student. [/quote]
Vassar is not a good environment for men[/quote]

Well, Vassar is a fine environment for gay men. But it can be isolating for straight, athletic, extroverted men. There just aren't a lot of them at Vassar. Some might not care, but others might have a hard time finding their social cohort.  [/quote]

Do you have personal experience or are you speculating? I am curious about actual experiences. Haverford, recommended upthread, is half the size of Vassar and has  a 43/57 gender split (pretty common at LACs), so only 600 male students TOTAL in its campus. Is that enough for a boy to find his social cohort? Vassar, even at 37/63, would have 900 men. [/quote]
