I'm curious why you consider that embarrassing to admit? It's completely natural for human groups to seek gender balance.

Very few engineering schools let themselves get to such an extreme gender imbalance, but if you really were picking between an 80/20 split and a liberal arts school, I'm highly confident that you are much better off for having picked the liberal arts school.

Is it? I see evidence of quite a few groups that are all-female and want to stay that way.

ugggh, that's gay... Some of the local Universities here in Ontario, Canada, have the opposite ratio :)
