lots of lesbian anger ... but the teacher treated us like kings for taking the class. Was actually the one of the easiest A's I had at ISU. (not that there were many)

Com Sci 103 - a 4 credit class of understanding computing thats 100% online that you just have to work on Word, Excell etc... i would recommend it to EVERYONE

That is why you go to UNI to party. Dont worry about the ratio, things will take care of themself, unless you are a total wreck socially.

All I can say is I never had much luck at ISU, but had a lot of fun when I moved to Cedar Falls. Having a steady pay check and a little more maturity had to help me.

My brother had a similar experience only he went to Iowa for a year. Came back to ISU to finish his Engineering degree, but had a lot of fun in Iowa City.

Then you were obviously in the wrong engineering. My classes are about 50/50.

Personally, don't waste your time with Gf's the first two years or so, too much fun staying single, especially as a Psych major.

Two excellent pieces of advice right here.
There aren't many girls in upper level history courses either. The 60/40 ratio of guys to girls seems about right.

I'm gonna guess Industrial? Or Materials?

EDIT: Chemical? really? I would not have guessed it would be 50/50. Electrical is a wasteland.

Just a suggestion from an HRI grad. Change majors.

Maybe not that extreme, but at least try to get a minor if you can. If you work in the business, that pretty much trumps the specialized degree. And if you some day decide you don't want to work in the industry, since it pays jack and the hours suck, you're kinda stuck. If I had it to do over again, I would have majored in Business, rather than HRI. Now that I'm "retired" from hotel management, it's hard to find a good job. I think that would be different if I had majored in something other than that. Just my 2 cents...

Point of info, ISU is one of a handful of universities where more students are males than females, probably cuz of engineering and ag.
