Why I am definately going to Loyola
Ok, so mom e-mailed the director of the GSA at Loyola University (only they call it the 'LGBTQ', for some odd reason), asking about the climate at the school and all that stuff. Well, he wrote back like 3 pages on how it's great there, one of the openest campuses (campi?) in teh country and all that. But there was one blurb that stood out to me, more than anything else.
- 35% of the student body identifies as LGBTQ
That's right. 35%. Meaning, when I meet 20 people, 7 of them will be homosexuals. Now, lets do the math here. Loyola has a student body of 7,500 (undergrads only). Now, my quick math tells me that that comes out to be 2,625 gays on campus. (I had to use the computer calculator for that one). 63% of the campus is women, so that means that 37% of those 2,625, or 971 and a quarter (a tranny pre-op, maybe?) students on campus like who i like. Now, lets do some dirty math here.
Of the 3 gay guys in my grade, not counting me (Aaron, Ross Fitzgerald, Stephen Cantu), only 1 (Aaron) is cool and somebody I'd want to spend time with. So, one third of 971.25 = 323.75 That is 324 people who I could conceivable fall in love with, on the Loyola campus. 81 of them will be in my grade.
MORE DIRTY MATH:
81 will be in my grade. There are 1,915 first year students. Half are boys (957.5). 81/957.5= an 8% chance that I will room with the boy I will fall in love with. Not that that's important or anything...:)
