[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Specify which is 60% and which sex is 40%.[/quote] I don't know of any notable 60m/40w colleges[/quote]

There are a few.  WPI is one.[/quote]

Stevens is another (66m/34w as of fall 2024). [/quote]

Pretty much any tech focused school that isn't super selective. Rose Hulman, RPI, RIT (MIT and similar are selective enough to maintain 50/50).[/quote]
I went to an engineering school like this as a woman.  The split was roughly 70m/30w.  There weren't an appreciable number of gay guys, but there were a large percentage of "gamer guys" who never did anything besides class and gaming.  That probably sucked up about 15% of the male student body.  As a woman, I did find it really uncomfortable not to have a boyfriend in that environment.  I'd be asked out and hit on dozens of times in a day.  When I was known to have a boyfriend, that dialed back and guys were just friends.  But as soon as I was single, the floodgates opened.  It wasn't one person so it wasn't harassment, but it did feel a bit like I was being harassed since I couldn't avoid the attention anywhere.[/quote]
Poor you![/quote]
