Where Are the Boys?

Posted By: Stacie Coulter on May 04, 2011 By Ashley Griffin: Looking around the N.C. Central University, you sometimes might think you're at a women's college. For every male student at NCCU there are about two female students. And the gender imbalance is not just here on the verdant green. At NCCU, ratio is two to one. It's a national phenomenon. According to the U.S. Department of Education, by 2015 the average college graduating class will be 60 percent female. Gender ratios are not as imbalanced at N.C. A&T, which has 52 percent women enrolled, or UNC-Chapel Hill, which has 58 percent women enrolled. Winston-Salem State University tops the list for gender imbalance where women's enrollment is at 71 percent. This gender imbalance has led to significant changes in the so-called dating game. Changes that are sometimes referred to as "hooking up." What many women would consider the ideal scenario — a prolonged period of dating, followed by a committed relationship — plays out less and less on today's college campuses.
