<p>The last I heard I think it was 23% female population at Missouri S & T. This does not thrill my son but at the same time he says at least he is more focused on his studies! I think the school is working at getting more women there by offering scholarships and focusing on women more. There does not seem to be any problems there (no buzz really) it just is a field here in the mid-west that women are not choosing as often as the men and when they do choose it they go somewhere else I guess. I am just guessing but some women may just not want to choose Rolla because there aren’t as many other women…just a comfort thing. But really I have no idea…it is a great school! I think the numbers are increasing…just takes a bit of time I suppose.</p>
