95% of people say they like these things. Although only 1% are telling the truth. Good luck weeding through that.
Correct, unfortunately. I meet girls all the time who say they like hiking and being in the mountains. So far almost none of them actually do, however. They end up complaining after we've been hiking only 15-20 minutes, are afraid of bugs, etc. Everyone thinks they're smarter than they are too, so most people I meet who think they're really smart end up being quite dull, or they think reading some pop science article now and then makes them an intellectual.
I was thinking more along the lines of grad students and professionals, not long time locals or undergrads. I am looking to go there for their biology program, which is actually quite good, so the statement that everyone smart leaves is likely inaccurate. I wouldn't necessarily want someone within my own department, but I was hoping there would be a significant number of bright younger women who were also fairly intelligent. I don't actually know though, which is why I came here.
