    63:37 - source. Though I'm of the opinion that this is skewed quite a lot by the large number of people studying engineering, most of them being male. In general I'd say that while it's noticeably more male than female, it's not that bad a ratio.

    There are more guys. But bearing in mind that the engineering faculty is massive, and the number of nights typical engineers go out is far less than the woman filled PHIR/english departments, a typical night is probably more 55/45 male-female ratio. Plus, as has been said, most of the girls are hot here.

    Oh right didn't realise it was so big for engineering, that's what I'm hoping to do. I though it was all just sport sport sport xD

    There are less girls, but quality > quantity.
