Colleges with Weird Gender Ratios

@JHS

How in the world is it “well known” that Vassar “like a number of other colleges” has a higher than average gay male population? I know a lot about a bunch of colleges, mostly of the East Coast Establishment variety (like Vassar), and most of which qualifies as folklore, I guess. I have various relatives who went to Vassar or taught there, my kids have numerous friends who went to Vassar. This is the first I have heard that it has a higher than average gay male population.

<p>You must know far less about Vassar than you think. The school even has a FAR about it prominently on their webpage: <a href=“http://admissions.vassar.edu/apply/answers/[/url]”>http://admissions.vassar.edu/apply/answers/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I’m sensing Dunning-Kruger in action.</p>

<p>Vassar is widely known as being friendly to gay men, and attracts a lot of them partly for that reason.</p>

<p>More generally, I do so enjoy it when boosters will quickly agree that the straight male/straight female imbalance is good for the guys, but then deny that it’s bad for the girls.</p>
