One of my girl friends always reminds me that the odds are good, but the goods are odd.

In my a level computing class of about 13 students we had 5 girls so not bad odds.

There are 5 girls in my year doing compsci, out of about 90 people.

I look worryingly like a stalker here but I just caught you using mathematics in your everyday life.

In my A-level computing class, 1 in 3 were girls, though there were only 3 people :p:

9:1 is the ratio I've seen splashed about most unis.

As an (unlikely) potential CompSci student, this worries me as I tend to get along better with girls (and I tend to find them more sexually attractive :biggrin:

)

I think my year is the same.

Roughly 90 - 100 people and round about 4 or five girls I think

In my computing class at college we had about 4 girls in a group of 50ish. So around the 10:1 mark. In my uni class we had 8 girls out of 90 of us. The girls were either reeeally strange or complete airheads. I hated it :frown:

I like boys better :biggrin:

There are around 20 girls in my year of 113. However, there is only one English girl, the rest are all either South-east-asian or oriental or Eastern European, which is typical of Imperial tbh.
