I guess I kind of expect people to choose to go to a coed college instead of all female or all male based on (at least partially) dating prospects. Does it seem weird for a female interested in both business and nursing to choose business because nursing would be mostly other females and business would be more balanced and more opportunities to develop friendships with the opposite sex?

Coed colleges become all male quite quickly when choosing certain majors - especially in the STEM region.

When I did math & cs - there were almost no women in any classes I took. The few that showed up were typically fob and didn’t speak English much at all or have any interest in integrating.
