Assuming you are doing this as a freshman you'll probably have the same ratio as the college in general since most students will be taking it as a gen ed credit. After sophomore year, it will be education majors taking history classes for a Social Studies certification to teach secondary school and your fellow history majors. I don't know what the normal male to female ratio is - who doesn't like history?!
It would have mattered to me a lot more as an undergraduate than it does as a grad student. The university my graduate program is at is 70% female, mainly because it was founded as a women's college, and served mainly as a nursing school in its earliest years. It was founded in 1916, and didn't start admitting men until 1969.The majority of its graduate programs happen to be in fields that are typically female-heavy, for the most part, including mine. All but one of my graduate classes are 100% female, one of them is 75% female.
My school was 60-65% male and believe me, you could feel it. It becomes a more exaggerated ratio when the first round of couples pairs off.
For instance, if there are 3000 men and 2000 women, and in the first semester 1000 of each pair off, you're left with 2000 single men and 1000 single women, a much worse ratio.
Hi there. I am an Australian coming to study in the U.S. in August. My home university has a male:female ratio of 40:60 whereas the U.S. college I am coming to has a 55:45 split, meaning there are far more men. I was wondering if this would be noticeable? I am obviously wanting to meet women when I am abroad and will this ratio be restrictive?
Go to college to get a degree, not to meet women. Not to say that you shouldn't date, but that shouldn't be your priority.
