<p>are there more girls here than boys? that would be no fun…because it’s COLLEGE and there aren’t enough boys??!</p>
<p>haha shallow post, i just wanted to know</p>

<p>just like most other colleges, BU has more females than males. at BU, it's a little more skewed, something like 60% vs 40%. on top of that, u have to take into consideration how many of the males are gay.</p>
<p>so yes, shallow and picky straight girls will have a hard time finding guys at BU. but there's always northeastern, BC, and other colleges in boston. it's not marriage anyway.. it's just a dating scene. lower your standards and see what can happen.</p>
<p>yeah last month when i was at orientation... there was a DEFINITE difference in the amount of females compared to males, hah which was funny cuz i remember at one time i had 12 girls standing around me and no guys... just a nice fact to point out to some of you other guys readin this thread... With so many girls it does appear that this trend is going to continue... but dont sweat it.. this isnt some small town in south dakota.. this is boston.. and you'll find plenty of guys...</p>
<p><-----straight guy right here. BU 2011 :)</p>
<p>College generally is 60/40 girls/guys. BU is about the average. But Boston is full of young people. Maybe you can snag a yuppie.</p>
<p>jPoD, you havent even applied yet..and are scouting out the girls.. lol but hey..its never to early to start..</p>
<p>and KG974 is right, lol at orientation there were alottttttt of girls, but i def wasnt complaining..but i did see some gay guys too..oh well, as long as they dont hit on me..there's less competition haha</p>
<p>Yes BU is average with about a 60-40 ratio. But in a big school like BU 40% is A LOT of guys.</p>

<p>As soon as I stepped foot on BU's 'campus' I was scoutin' the girls :)</p>

<p>ok, yes, it is difficult to find guys at BU. like a great friend of mine said: "ok, so now 40% of the school is guys, and half are gay, so you're down to 20% of eligible guys. half of those guys are in relationships, so you're down to 10%. half those 10% are horrible, in one way or another, so now you're down to 5% of the school's population. and then, when all is said and done, you have about a good 2% of the population listed as single, eligible bachelors." so yes, plenty of guys but not many to date, but trust me, you have MIT basically on the campus, BC not far, emerson, harvard, and a million other schools. its boston, for god's sake!!!</p>
<p>With over 17,000 undergrads does anyone really think these odds are that bad? This is how it is in most colleges these days with few exceptions. Surely no one believes half of the males or females are gay. Its really not something to be that concerned about and with a dozen other colleges nearby, not to mention with MIT being 60% male, with parties right down the street from BU, there are plenty of opportunities.</p>
<p>There are more eligible guys than you think. Believe it or not, some of them are just not interested in developing a romantic or dating relationship right away. My S for example has lots of male and female friends but tended to do group activities his first year. He was challenged by his courses and spent a lot of time on academics and a few extracurriculars he enjoyed. Sometimes there's just not enough time to do it all.</p>
<p>I'm here. I'll be here all day. Leave your name and number after the beep: BEEP!</p>

<p>Hang around the engineering school. I just got back from orientation and there were probably 45-50 ENG people and there were only like 7 or 8 of us girls haha. Like my ENG group had the most girls and there were only 3 of us</p>
