What schools are these where women outnumber men? Perhaps it's just CS and engineering but my graduating class for example had maybe 5 women out of 200 total people. Not even close to a majority. The entire university was better but still bad 2/3 men 1/3 women.
- tokenadult 17y agoMost of the few remaining colleges in the United States with male student majorities do indeed seem to be colleges with mostly technical major subjects.

- ubernostrum 17y agoThe (private, liberal-arts) college I attended has for many years now had a fairly striking imbalance; currently it's 59% female and has been hovering around that 60/40 mark for at least the past decade, if not more. Edit: the US Census bureau provides data. Most recent figures (http://www.census.gov/population/www/socdemo/school/cps2008.html http://www.census.gov/population/www/socdemo/school/cps2008....) show 10.3 million female college students to 8.3 million male college students.
- jcnnghm 17y agoThe imbalance is likely because of the introduction of soft majors designed to appeal to women, like communications and human resources. You don't actually need to go to college for this stuff, and it's probably a waste of time and money. However, it does enable women to command a higher salary like the men that go into trades do. Anybody that's ever been in a nice neighborhood should have noticed the number of work trucks.
