<p>I too, experienced the “joys” of going to a college which was 2/3 men.<br>
So I think it is indeed a concern with respect to your daughter’s situation.</p>
<p>First, it is my understanding that a higher than normal percentage of the boys at Vassar are gay. So the ratio may even be worse than at first appears.</p>
<p>Second, I recently read an article in The New York Times about the University of North Carolina, and how it had something like a 40/60 boy/girl ratio, and how this impacted on the girls. You should read that article. It was not a nice story. Many of the girls wound up dating older guys in the Chapel Hill area who were not college students, because there were few boys to date. So they missed out on the traditional college experience in that regard. And as for the college boys, the gist of the story was that since the boys knew they were in the drivers seat, there was little dating. The girls would complain about no romance on the part of the boys, and how aggressive they were. For example, a boy would take a girl out for a slice of pizza, and then kind of take the attitude, after five minutes-----“well, I just bought you a slice of pizza, that’s more than most guys around here do, so what else do I have to do, time to sleep with me”. The fact that the subject actually made it into The New York Times as a prominent story shows that your fears are not ill-founded. </p>
<p>Of course, if your daughter is extremely attractive, she should still not have a problem, but if she is just average, she well might.</p>
