<p>I'm thinking about doing an engineering exchange program that Princeton has with Smith, and I'm wondering how I would be regarded as one of the few male students on campus? Would I be ostracized by the overwhelmingly female population, or welcomed as another peer?</p>
<p>You would not be ostracized.</p>
<p>It’s an all female campus…what do YOU think?</p>
<p>You might get some stares and have to put up with a little flirting, but if you’re doing engineering you’re going to be really busy most of the time and you’ll have a tight knit group of engineers to hang out with, so I think it will go ok.</p>
<p>hahaha, this is still funny to me.</p>
<p>I hope there are hellas guys from other schools on campus. I definitely would welcome it!</p>
<p>I would tend to agree with SmithieandProud. People will definitely NOTICE you, but you definitely won’t be ostracized. As long as you’re not incredibly uncomfortable with attention, you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>im pretty sure you would be welcomed & i agree i hope there are guys on campus so if you want to bring your male friends along to keep you company that would do no harm :)</p>
<p>haha I was just messin around, looking forward to meeting you ladies</p>
<p>There’s actually a fairly large number (for a woman’s college) of students that present/identify as male. So I know I, for one, would just assume you’re a trans guy. :)</p>
<p>You really think there’s a fairly large number of trans students? I think it’s a very small number, even for a women’s college.</p>
<p>My D had guys in some of her classes – from Hampshire, UMass, and Amherst. They weren’t trans students, just guys who wanted to take those particular courses.</p>
<p>You won’t be the only man on campus because Smith is in the 5 college consortium so there will be not only an abundance of men, but tons of kids who don’t even go to Smith! Don’t worry.</p>
<p>S&P: I don’t think it’s a huge number, but I do know a fair number of transmen/genderqueers/people who could pass as men, even if they don’t identify as such. Then again, maybe it’s just the circle I run in, which tends to be more queer. Do you think we have a small number?</p>
