Bathed in a colorful glow, they splashed beer from pitchers, traded jokes and shouted lyrics to a Taylor Swift heartache anthem thundering overhead. As a night out, it had everything-except guys.North Carolina, with a student body that is nearly 60 percent female, is just one of many large universities that at times feel weirdly like womens colleges. Women have represented about 57 percent of enrollments at American colleges since at least 2000, according to a recent report by the American Council on Education. Researchers there cite several reasons: women tend to have higher grades; men tend to drop out in disproportionate numbers; and female enrollment leads further among older students, low-income students, and black students.The Effects of the Sexual ImbalanceIn terms of academic advancement, this is hardly the worst news for women-its a sign of female achievement. But surrounded by so many other successful women, they often find it harder than expected to find a date on a Friday night. Jayne Dallas, a senior studying advertising who was seated across the table, complained that the population of male undergraduates was even smaller when you looked at it as a dating pool. Out of that 40 percent, there are maybe 20 percent that we would consider, and out of those 20, 10 have girlfriends, so all the girls are fighting over that other 10 percent, she said.Needless to say, this puts guys in a position to play the field, and tends to mean that even the ones willing to make a commitment come with storied romantic histories. Rachel Sasser, a senior history major at the table, said that before she and her boyfriend started dating, he had hooked up with a least five of my friends in my sorority-that I know of.These sorts of romantic complications are hardly confined to North Carolina, an academically rigorous school where most students spend more time studying than socializing. The gender imbalance is also pronounced at some private colleges, such as New York University and Lewis & Clark in Portland, Ore., and large public universities in states like California, Florida and Georgia. The College of Charleston, a public liberal arts college in South Carolina, is 66 percent female. Some women at the University of Vermont, with an undergraduate body that is 55 percent female, sardonically refer to their college town, Burlington, as Girlington.The gender gap is not universal. The Ivy League schools are largely equal in gender, and some even has a few more males. But at some schools, efforts to balance the numbers have been met with complaints that less-qualified men are being admitted over more-qualified women. In December, the United States Commission on Civil Rights moved to check admissions data from 19 public and private colleges to look at whether they were discriminating against qualified female applicants.Leaving aside complaints about affirmative action for boys, less attention has been focused on the social difference. Thanks to simple laws of supply and demand, it is often the women who must assert themselves romantically or be left alone on Valentines Day. I was talking toil friend at a bar, and this girl just came up out of nowhere, grabbed him by the wrist, spun him around and took him out to the dance floor and started grinding, said Kelly Lynch, a junior at North Carolina, recalling a recent experience.Students interviewed here said they believed their mating rituals reflected those of college students any where. But many of them-men and women alike said that the imbalanced population tends to twist behavior.
