Is the dating life here really that bad for a heterosexual guy? The gender ratio is pretty skewed at caltech but half the student body is Asian so that is good but how many of these Asians are girls? (I’m half Asian myself and I prefer to date Asian women) Are the girls here attractive because every time I think of the students at caltech I get this stereotypical image in my head(though there are a couple 6’10 Asian guys on the caltech basketball team lol).
Go to Harvey Mudd.
Why Harvey Mudd? They still have a somewhat skewed gender ratio too but also less Asians.
@EYeager Caltech is 45 percent Asian, there are 391 Undergrad females, which gives about 175 Asian girls in the 4 years of undergrad. So about 45 Asian girls per year.
Have you been accepted yet? If not, I wouldn’t worry so much about it until you get accepted lol
You can check it out for yourself at the Frosh week if you get accepted if you find them pretty or not because that is subjective while numbers are objective.
But I have a few Asian female friends at Caltech and they occasionally post pictures of their dorm activities or Caltech year end dances. I wouldn’t get your hopes up on finding someone pretty - according to my view of what is pretty, of course. Most people in their right mind wouldn’t go to a school where the gender ratio is so skewed and everyone is “nerdy” to find a girl friend lol.
You would be better off at a liberal arts college if you want to find a gf. None of my friends at Caltech is dating for your reference.
Btw, by hetero you mean straight right?
My brother found a girlfriend the first week of freshman year.
Yes, that is what “heterosexual” means…
Mudd isn’t far from a 50/50 gender split. Last year’s freshman class was 46% female, and their student body is about 20% Asian. Plus you have the other 4 5C colleges as a dating pool – and Scripps is all women (18% Asian if you are wondering).
If given the opportunity to go to Caltech with fewer girls or Mudd with slightly more, hands down…CALTECH!
i thought caltech is about science
This website probably isn’t the best place to talk about dating. The reason this site is called “college confidential” is because the people who go on here went, or are either planning to go, to college. People who go to college, particularly those who graduate college, are academically ambitious, and people who are academically ambitious tend to be too nerdy to know much about social things like dating. In general, the more academically-oriented someone is, the more introverted they tend to be. I’m not saying this is the case with everybody, but it is a common trend. People who are serious enough to pursue education beyond high school are probably going to be too serious for things like dating. Also, people who are in college are probably going to be too busy for dating anyway. It isn’t like high school, where you can not work hard and graduate anyway.
