<p>heyy guys i was just accepted to college of charleston EA and im so excited! i love the school, charleston is absolutely gorgeous and it has a great program for my major, hospitality and tourism management. but im really worried about the gender imbalance... can someone honestly tell me how that effects the student life? i heard that there are a million pretty girls and the only guys are gay. ive also heard that schools like citadel make up for the lack of guys. how true is that exactly? thanks so much!</p>
<p>All I know is I’m a straight guy and C of C is heaven on earth. It’s definitely one of the schools I’m considering for transfer for Fall 2012. Solid Academics, Great weather, and ladies! lol</p>
<p>I just got accepted and I visited toward the end of last semester. There are definitely more females there but it isn’t the noticeable.
Yes, a lot of the guys are gay because it is a gay friendly place, but at the same time… there are a lot of women that attend CofC and are lesbian.
Plus there is a military school near by called Citadel that is like 90% men so it kind of evens things out.</p>
<p>I’m sure you’ll meet someone.</p>
<p>Winter90, when you say that a lot of the guys at CofC are gay, is that something you know for sure about, or is it an assumption based on the City? I’ve never seen C of C listed in any of the Gay Friendly College or University site lists and on one or two other college sites they have said that the gay population and Gay Straight Alliance on campus is not that large. Accepted perhaps but not numerous.</p>
<p>Congratulations on being accepted here at Charleston! You’re gonna really love it here, although like you say the gender imbalance is a bit rough at first. The guys from the Citadel are cool, so you can usually meet loads of guys there, but if you’re looking for a boyfriend on campus, be prepared for a lot of competition from the ladies. I’ve got a guy friend thats pretty good looking and seems to be with a different girls like every time I see him. Also, you can go down to the town where there are like a normal amount of guys, so its not that big of a problem</p>
