<p>It is really not all that equitable, since Columbia is about 50-50 on its own, and the schools have mostly separate dorms(with some exceptions, but preponderantly); the undergrad community as a whole is about 60-40. The other original seven sister, Vassar is about 60-40, IIRC. I thought Haverford was more like 50-50, which made the whole thing more like 60-40 as well, but I defer to prior post on that.

"For the three top LACs alone, the W:M ratio is about 6.7 to 1. "</p>
<p>Friends’ D went to Smith, she had some male friends; from U Mass.</p>
