[quote=Anonymous][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]

My son is at WPI. Majority of the male friends I have met of his (ok small sample, maybe 5 or 6?) are all pretty normal, social guys.  He isn't really "hang out" type buddies with his 4 roommates but as he said, no one is ever here since we are all so busy---meaning, they aren't just sitting there playing video games alone...Living with one female and one male friend in a house next year. WPI has trended towards 70-30, was 60-40 when he applied but they lost a private donor who was giving big scholarships to more female students and helping the ratio a bit.

I have a kid at WPI too, and they are also very happy with the social life. Lots of friends of verious genders, plenty to do. Very busy. The 7-week terms don't leave a lot of free time, but they are a smart group of students, so they manage to balance and squeeze a lot into a term.[/quote]
