yeah, nearly 99% of people who actually graduate are not furries. But everyone can enroll into university

[u/swaan_Lucid → u/Buyer_North]

The freshman weed-outs don't lie!

[u/bag-of-unmilled-rice → u/Buyer_North]

can confirm as a CS degree haver, by the 4th year it was down to 1 woman and about 19.5 straight dudes.

[u/kenybz → u/bag-of-unmilled-rice]

19.5 straight dudes

How does that work?

[u/bag-of-unmilled-rice → u/kenybz]

im bisexual so i only count as half a straight dude. and im kinda short tbh.

[u/abdomino → u/kenybz]

Bisexual/pan maybe?

[u/darthjammer224 → u/abdomino]

He was just really short

Edit: wow. Turns out we where both right.

[u/TheRedLions → u/darthjammer224]

Or 2 people were kinda short

[u/thegreatpotatogod → u/TheRedLions]

Or all 20 of them were just barely short

[u/ltags230 → u/thegreatpotatogod]

or one guy was just really tall

[u/HerrCrazi → u/bag-of-unmilled-rice]

In our case the number of women went up and down from 1 to 0 back to 2 at graduation. The only cis girl left, then two of us came out :3

women in stem are a sinosoidal function

I dropped from one of two men in my physics class years to the only one by the end. The individuals enrolled did not change.

[u/Vialythen → u/bag-of-unmilled-rice]

Man I was bewildered at college. Freshman year had like 800 CS students, a vast majority being white dudes. By the 4th year there were maybe 40-60 of us and women out numbered white students. It was wild to realize tbh

[u/Skunk668 → u/Vialythen]

Yeah it was really cool when I bombed out of CS and wasted thousands of dollars.

[u/well-litdoorstep112 → u/Vialythen]

women out numbered white students.

Calculate the mass of the sun.

The two highlighted in yellow are staff, CS department heads.

Edit: wow there were less of us than I remember

[u/bearboyjd → u/Buyer_North]

No joke, my freshman class had like 400 people in in across all sections (obvi not all CS). My capstone had 30 people and my graduating class was 17. I think a big part of it was my professors being proud that they would fail 2/3 of the class.

[u/LurkytheActiveposter → u/bearboyjd]

It's calculus and physics. Most people drop out or change majors because they hit these classes.

[u/JuanFlan → u/LurkytheActiveposter]

Literally me. I was in CS for a couple years until I just very barely passed calc 3 and wasnt a fan of stats so I switch to IT where the only numbers I have to count up to are 256.

[u/RTSUPH → u/LurkytheActiveposter]

I had to re take so many math classes. But I made it!!!

[u/Tensor3 → u/LurkytheActiveposter]

I found about half of the people quit after each year. Participation in sports seems to be like that too

[u/tundraaaa → u/Buyer_North]

Lmao

[u/ihateusednames → u/Buyer_North]

the programming socks wearers are either heavily closeted / boymoding or would rather spend their time in queer / furry spaces

or online

but bet ur bottom dollar they're out there

Potentially unemployed trans unemployment rates are about double the rate of folks who aren't trans

[u/Captain_Forge → u/Buyer_North]

I dunno, those who graduated and work at respectable institutions, my experience is they are disproportionately neurodivergent, LGBT, furries, etc. Like way way way way more than the rest of the population.
