male:female student ratios

I was told this week that one Ontario University's student ratio is 1:7 for male:female. What are the gender ratios for various Canadian College & Universities? Is this information often true?

That sounds plausible with regards to York University. I was under the impression that it was at least 2/3 at York (women really like the Arts!).

theres a 2:3 ratio of male to female at Laurier

For Waterloo, it's 50:50. However, engineering is about 5:1 males to females as is math and software engineering. For arts, it's mostly female. Sciences is now about 45:55 male to female.

Great thread! Can anyone tell me the ratio for either 1st year Ryerson IT MANAGEMENT program, Business Management program and Schulich's iBBa program?

like to increase your chances huh?

anyways in guelph it's around 40:60 male:female, maybe more female actually

According to Macleans 55:45 would be the male:female ratio...

I love being an artsie

It's not THAT high, but there are some very attractive young women at York...

Understatement of the year :P

Why did I hear it was 1:7 when I entered Laurier 5 years ago? As of now, I still see a lot more female than males, even in the science building.

There's a hell of a lot more females in any university lately, I read an article about this in the Uni Report Card 2006. I remember one faculty member saying that all his departments have more females than males - except for engineering

You don't really need to be concerned with the entire university's male:female ratio, moreso just focus on your faculty and your classes. If you're in Engineering or Math then it doesn't matter how many girls go to your university, because you won't be seeing many, However,if you're in the social sciences at McMaster for example, the ratio is about 1:9 for males to females in some classes

Trust me, less distractions.

Better distractions than playing Star Craft on your lap top.. Windsor Art is about 1-3 and in business it is 1-2 .. I love my Roman History class it was 1-6 there
