    America is a weird place, Europe is more balanced in general. Back in 2000 we had more of a 60%-40% split in computer science.

      I’m guessing this picture wasn’t taken in America, given what looks like Cyrillic text on the projector. Could be wrong, though.

      Nah, it’s definitely a thing in the Netherlands. I got my degree a couple years ago and we only had a few girls.

      It’s super obvious to me as an American that this is somewhere in Europe. If this were in America over half the class would be Asian or Indian.

        I’m from Europe (and studied CS there). My classes for some courses were about a third Indian, a third Chinese, with locals and other foreigners combined being the final third.

        Of course, I’m pretty sure this photo wasn’t taken anywhere near me either. For me, the clue to that was the Cyrillic on the slides.
