Speaking from experience, I don't see this as all that unsurprising at all. The stereotype is definitely not entirely inaccurate, in this case. Also not mentioned in the article: the stench, or the "freshman funk" as we called it at DigiPen. Sadly, I only wish I was joking there.
Of course, I'm just talking about the computer science curriculum at a largely computer science school (can't speak for the art side of things, because I have little experience there) rather than the industry in general. Also, DigiPen is probably not typical either, as it is a specialist school as opposed to the more general comp sci programs offered at "normal" schools. By contrast, for example, there were quite a few more girls in the computer science program at NC A&T and it was a decidedly less nerdy environment overall than DigiPen was. That said, I still personally preferred DigiPen more, simply because it was a way more focused curriculum.
(And I have to agree with that second comment, poorly written though it may be [EDIT and which has since been removed, along with all the other comments, apparently /EDIT]. Geeky girls are indeed hot.)
