<p>NYU’s social life is centered around NYC, so it’s not like the chicks will get desperate even with the lopsided gender ratio and large number of gay guys.</p>
<p>In order to have the odds tip dramatically in your favor as a hetero male, you must find a school where the majority are overwhelmingly women, a significant amount of the men gay, and the campus relatively isolated (more like a college town). This is the only way to drive the women wild after a college aged Joe Schmo like you.</p>
<p>William & Mary has slight majority women and is an excellent school. Top ranked football, soccer teams. Hoops team went to NIT last year. Plus the girls that are there are hot!! More Mary Ann than Ginger.</p>
<p>What I find interesting is that some National Flagship Unis, which at first thought might be expected to be all in a tight range, are about 50/50 e.g. Penn St, Illinois, Maryland, Texas, Michigan, Rutgers, Washington, whereas many are 54% female or higher… Berkeley, Florida, Virginia, UC-Davis, UCLA, UCSB, (UNC - 59%!)</p>
<p>Haverford, a leading coeducational LAC, is slightly more female than male, but Bryn Mawr, a leading women’s college, is just a mile away and the two schools have a very close relationship including a unified course registration system allowing students on either campus to take an unlimited number of courses (or even their major) at the other, many shared extracurriculars, unlimited reciprocal dining hall privileges, even the opportunity to live on the other campus if space is available. (My D, a freshman at Haverford, says one Haverford male lived on the Bryn Mawr campus last year; not sure about this year). Since the two schools are about the same size, that makes for an environment that is about 75% female.</p>
<p>There are so many schools right now with more girls than guys! I honestly believe my sons got at least a 20 point bonus for their SATS over my daughter, since schools are anxious to keep their ratios good. Same thing if you’re looking at a program that has more women than men. I’ve heard that men going into nursing (and now pharmacy) have a little easier time being accepted than women candidates. Conversely, women may still find it a little easier to get admitted into engineering and math programs than a guy with the same credentials. </p>
<p>Except for my sons quickly getting admitted into their reach schools, the rest is hearsay.</p>
<p>I don’t think much has changed on most coed campuses. When I dropped off D at her school this Fall (55% F), the dance was the same as I remembered from 30+ years ago. Guys checking out girls, girls checking out guys. Parents generally oblivious to the undercurrents.</p>
<p>When I took my S to an “Accepted Students Day”, I looked around and remarked “There are a high percentage of girls here.” My S just looked at me & gave me a “thumbs up” and smiled at me!</p>
