<p>Wow, I can't believe this is even being discussed. UGH, if they hit on you, tell them you are straight and there will be no problems!</p>
<p>Ps - Midwesterners aren't all rednecks!! Just most. We got some culture too, only in the few cities we have (Madison, Chitown, Twin Cities). Don't be hatin', we don't hate on you. :P</p>
<p>I honestly don't understand what the fuss is. So if you are a straight guy and a guy hits on you, it's no different from an unattractive girl hitting on you. So, what's the big deal??? Unless you call yourself straight but actually have a little homosexual tendency?? LOL! Then I can understand why you are nervous!</p>
<p>I'd say around 25% of the guys at Vassar are gay, maybe a little more.</p>
<p>Others with lots of gay guys:</p>
<p>-Oberlin
-Sarah Lawrence
-anything with the word "new" in it
-College of the Atlantic
-NYU (although it's not nearly as many as some want you to think)
-Carnegie Mellon, because of the great drama program
-U of Cincinnati, same reason</p>
<p>25%? that's ridiculous, and obviously not true.</p>
<p>CCers.. For the Record...</p>
<p>again, I'm not homophobic, I just really want to know. I'm sorry if this thread sparks controversy, but someone might as well bring it up, hey it's gotten 633 views. </p>
<p>Anyway,
"I don't think that bica is homophobic, just distressed because the guys she falls for happen to be gay." gianscolere1 is right on the mark. thank you. </p>
<p>I posted a reply on another gay issue.. on the confidential cafe, "Gay guys(for girls) about an experience I had finding out my best guy friend was gay by asking him to prom. Finding out he was gay didn't change anything. We're still best friends. </p>
<p>I love theatre, and like the kinshasa said, guys, at least, in theatre tend to be gay. So I have no problem with gay guys. I have plenty of gay guy friends, and I love them all to death. But for most of my high school experience, a lot of the guys around me turn out to be gay, I just don''t want my college experience to be like this. </p>
<p>Thanks for those who understand. Also the note on West Coast, I meant more are <em>probably</em> over-represented, b/c more <em>probably</em> come out. Sheesh. </p>
<p>Final note: I'm female. So stop using the pronoun 'he'.
Thanks</p>

Stick to a religious or conservative schools and you'll find less gays.

</p>
<p>Nah, you'll just find more closeted guys</p>
<p>LOL, the West Coast stereotype isn't true? Damn it! </p>
<p>Nah, I kinda figured that...but it's nice just to think that way...</p>
<p>Even at schools where girls complain there are too many chicks, and too many gay guys, most everybody still ends up hooking up. Gay people make up such a small percentage of the population, I doubt "every guy you meet" is going to be gay. This may happen at, like, art & design schools or something, but definitely not in the top 25. No worries!</p>
<p>I teach at a university in the fundamentalist Middle East and we have a very high gay population. Imagine that. Higher than anything I have seen in the United States. One of my female students said all the men were gay. I don't know about that but I wouldn't be surprised if it is as high as 40 percent or so. It's quite high.</p>
<p>I've found that there are more openly homosexual or bisexual people at any college than I'd noticed in highschool or just in everday life. I think that it is really just a matter of perception and people being open; not that a certain place as larger precentage of students who swing that way. I certainly didn't think that BU had a large precentage of homosexual students. If anything, at universities, I've always noticed more lesbians and bisexual girls than homosexual or bisexual men. </p>
<p>It doesn't matter though. It won't make a difference unless you let it. I've heard way too many girls complaining that all of the good men are taken or gay; it's absolutely untrue. If you're guy friends are predominately homosexual, it's not hard to realize that the guys you meet through them are probably homosexual too. It just keeps on going like that. This advice goes for anyone, but when you go to University don't think that all of your friends have to know each other. Get to know lots of different people. Don't necessarily hang out with people interested in theatre.</p>

<p>For what it's worth, this is a common complaint from my female friends, and we're professionals in our 30's. Some things never change. :)</p>
<p>According to my (girl)friend, "gay guys are like flowers that can't be picked." At least this saying applies to the gay guys at Northwestern.</p>
<p>I hear DePaul has a lot of gay guys.</p>
<p>Oh yes. It even offers an LGBT studies concentration.</p>
<p>Btw, what I said in post 31 doesn't make sense. The saying applies to gay guys everywhere, not just the ones at Northwestern.</p>
<p>Would pretending to be gay help my admission chances. Kind of like an URM.</p>
<p>If you don't want gays go to Bob Jones or Brigham Young.</p>
<p>UCLA has about a 10% queer undergraduate population.</p>
<p>I SERIOUSLY doubt that Duke is predominatly queer.</p>
<p>if youre female, avoid wellesley. my sister goes there, and said shes been approached more than a few times by lesbians.</p>
<p>Yeah... I'm not fond of gay people who hit on the straight ones. They ruin our reputation</p>
<p>That's a tricky question. A large percentage of college sophomores who identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual DON'T identify as such five years later. Btw, I wouldn't be surprised if the reverse is true also.</p>
<p>It could be that they actually are and don't feel comfortable expressing their sexual identity outside of a university environment. It could also be that college is a confusing time and they don't actually have a clue as to what they are.</p>
