<p>Dating here happens, and I’d say in considerably better quantity and quality than high school (though that’s obviously my opinion). I wouldn’t disconsider (yay madeupword) Caltech based on the Ratio (whether you’re a boy or a girl); it’s not like a constant oppressive atmosphere; it’s more like you look up from whatever you’re doing and notice that in a room of 7 people there’s only one girl. But this shouldn’t disturb you (and doesn’t disturb most people here).</p>
<p>But like any place (and I’d even argue more so here at Caltech), life is what you make of it. There may be tendancies that push you one way or another, but you totally have self determination.</p>
<p>And if you really want a date, consider that a good number of boys have unending crushes on WoW, and the internet connection here is /very/ reliable; dating wise the ratio doesn’t seem nearly as 70:30 as I’ve heard the number stated (feel free to correct me on that)</p>
<p>That’s socially. You have to be a lot smarter than I am to have self-determination academically;) (don’t worry though, I’m not that smart really)</p>
<p>My two cents,
Alex</p>
