Purdue when I was back in the 1990s (I graduated in 1984). She had to go down at least one level of the Mechanical Engineering building to use the restroom. I guess I never really noticed.

The funny thing is that my daughter did not have that many more women students in her mechanical engineering classes than I did (she graduated in 2014).
