UNC here I come!

Found this little gem in the New York Times, entitled “On College Campuses, a Shortage of Men.” The article opens with the following paragraphs:

ANOTHER ladies’ night, not by choice.

After midnight on a rainy night last week in Chapel Hill, N.C., a large group of sorority women at the University of North Carolina squeezed into the corner booth of a gritty basement bar. Bathed in a neon glow, they splashed beer from pitchers, traded jokes and belted out lyrics to a Taylor Swift heartache anthem thundering overhead. As a night out, it had everything — except guys.

“This is so typical, like all nights, 10 out of 10,” said Kate Andrew, a senior from Albemarle, N.C. The experience has grown tiresome: they slip on tight-fitting tops, hair sculpted, makeup just so, all for the benefit of one another, Ms. Andrew said, “because there are no guys.”

It seems that there IS a school with the same ratio “problem” as RPI. It’s just reversed. You could literally swap genders in the article and it would read like a piece about our beloved tech school. If you’re looking for a (painful?) laugh, look no further.

P.S. I’m not really going to transfer schools.
