Sex and the student city – Column

The search for the one is very unpredictable; sometimes it takes a hundred girls to find her, sometimes the first try is a perfect match. The duration of the search for the one is very much dependent though on the kind of demands a guy puts on her. In order to be the one a girl namely has to possess certain characteristics. Usual characteristics of the one could be something like: blond hair, blue eyes, cup size C, longs legs, smart and funny. More unusual characteristics could be things like: she has to be of foreign descent, a huge Star Wars fan or she needs to have a boyfriend (more challenging). When it comes to the one, the more unreal she seems, the better.
All guys in Delft probably had a clear picture of their one in mind when they came to study here. What better place to meet the one than in university? The reality is hard. Due to the lack of girls in Delft the one is subjected to gradual process of decay. Over time one by one you start to let go of your demands when it comes to the one. Did I say she has needs to have a C-cup? Anything above A will do. Blond hair? A ginger with her hair dyed blond is also ok. And what about her being smart and funny? The ability to speak is already more than enough.
As the years pass the one gradually looses al her beauty and charm, like a tree looses all her beautiful coloured leafs during autumn. After five years of studying in Delft the one has degraded to the bare minimum: anything female will do.

De Oeso, een samenwerkingsverband van dertig welvarende landen, heeft de positie van niet-westerse allochtonen in het Nederlandse onderwijs tegen het licht gehouden. Sinds het midden van de jaren negentig is de deelname van allochtonen aan het hoger onderwijs verdubbeld, constateren de rapporteurs tevreden.

De allochtone jongeren nemen niet allemaal de route via havo en vwo, maar ze gaan steeds vaker studeren. Zo gaat slechts één op de vier (26 procent) jongeren van Turkse afkomst naar havo of vwo, terwijl één op de drie (33 procent) uiteindelijk een opleiding in het hoger onderwijs volgt.

Er blijven nog genoeg zorgen over. Zo haken allochtone leerlingen en studenten vaker af dan autochtonen.

The one

Every guy has a perfect dream girl, also known as ‘the one’. This is the kind of girl you would spontaneously ask to marry you at first sight.
