As an additional aspect to consider, consortium relationships may influence experienced gender ratios. For example, if Haverford and Bryn Mawr are considered as a bi-college, then female students compose 77% of the undergraduate enrollment.
I did not understand much of your comment. It seemed to be in code :-). Honestly.
I was at a rest stop. I was wondering what you guys were thinking.
My mind said more girls. After all that’s what the OP was saying and the articles agrees.
I had a lapse in my writing. Wrote opposite of what I was thinking. Oops.
The sad part is my daughter attends one of these schools but she’s back with her bf in Denver.
Haverford College, when considered by itself, appears roughly gender balanced, at 56% female and 44% male. However, Haverford maintains a very close (bi-college) relationship with Bryn Mawr College, which is entirely female. Therefore, the overall social experience for a Haverford student may seem much like (but not exactly like) that of a student that attends a college that is 77% female. The experience can be similar for students in colleges at other consortia, as well, in cases in which one gender predominates by enrollment.
Why is it sad? She seems to be in a good relationship based on what you just said.
oh ok. That is interesting.
Yeah. But if you think you are sending your daughter to a school like that.
Sorry about b4. Long day. I was at a rest stop in the mountains a few miles away from Sewanee.
Big brain lapse.
I should have gone to one of these schools
These kinds of thoughts will get you into trouble
And please don’t text and drive.
No worry there. Hope OP finds the right school.
My daughter’s 2 final choices came down to a school that had a 50/50 male female ratio and one that had a 60 female/40 male ratio. It is one of the schools listed by Data10 above that has a “notable gender imbalance.” She chose the 50/50 school. When she was listing the pros and cons, the ratio was a factor she considered.
My daughter went to a school with a ration of about 70% male/30% women. As far as I knew, any woman who wanted to date men did so, and the men who wanted to date women at the school did too. How did that work? There were a lot of international students, mostly men, who were married or had relationships with people from their home countries. Some had girlfriends with those at other schools or from their home cities.
For many years, the military academies were all men and they had no trouble finding dates (often high school girls from the area). One of my sorority sisters is married to a AFA guy she started dating in HS, got married a year or so after college (she was semi local, he was from OOS). Three other sorority sisters married guys from Colorado School of Mines when the ratio was 90%/10%. Our schools were about 30 miles apart and we all went to parties there. Often. Yup, they imported the girls.
