<p>There seems to be a huge difference between the amount of guys and girls enrolled. Is there a reason for this and (for any current student) what's the effect?</p>
<p>Also, is there some sort of connected school where there are more girls RPI would conduct social activities with?</p>
<p>Gender imbalance is the case for <em>most</em> polytechnics. Only a few schools manage to tackle this issue successfully. As for women’s colleges… There is Sage College <a href=“School of Arts & Sciences » Russell Sage College”>http://www.sage.edu/rsc/</a> - Also Skidmore is not too far away, but that is co-ed ~ 60%female.</p>
