<p>So I'm a white female senior in high school, and I've been accepted to Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (I'm posting this here because the Rose-Hulman board isn't very active). Rose-Hulman seems pretty cool, however the staggering male/female ratio (80%/20%) kind of worries me. Does any one have any insight on what it's like to be a woman at Rose-Hulman? Do the men act "superior" to women? I like the idea of a small school where the professors aren't untouchable gods, but I wouldn't want to go to a college where women are looked down upon or anything. I don't mind guys- in fact, I love being friends with and hanging out with guys- but I'm just wondering if the male students at Rose-Hulman are interested in being friends with girls, or if they mostly want to keep to themselves.</p>
<p>I dont know about acting superior, but you’ll probably be hounded.</p>
<p>I took classes at the Colorado School of Mines while I was a senior in high school and they had a very similar male/female ratio. The women were asked out a lot, they got special attention from the professors (not sexual, just that they stood out). I don’t think this is a negative thing for you.</p>
<p>Hi, I am also considering RHIT and I am also a female, international student. I have been communicating with students there. They seem to like the life there. You can log on to facebook and join the class of 2013 and talk to students there. they will answer you. I also wrote to the international advisor and she gave my email id to some of the girls there and they have also given good reports. I think yo could also do the same.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
<p>My D goes there and loves it. She has many boys that are her friends but also has a group of girls that she is very close to. You don’t have to worry at all about the ratio. In fact, I think you will see that % jump to more girls this year.</p>
<p>You can PM me if you have other questions.</p>
<p>I have noticed that Engineers (male or female) are egualitarian and team plauers by nature. Of course, that is a generalization, but I think it is on the whole quite true. I have not known many RH engineers, but that was certainly the case at Cornell and Michigan. Furthermore, male Engineers are more likely to encourage female participation than to shun it.</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies. Glad to know that the men don’t act “superior” to women. I’ll definitely check out the facebook group!</p>
