There are a lot of reasons for people to skip out on higher ed. The high price tag, the potential that your degree won’t lead to anything, etc etc. But perhaps there is one reason to get yourself into a University – studies suggest there are more women at colleges now than men. Via Slate:

Wander around the grounds of many colleges and universities in America and you will encounter no shortage of women. Cisgender female students outnumber their cisgender male counterparts in nearly all sectors of undergraduate higher education today. Of course, that wasn’t always the case. Colleges and universities opened their doors to women in stages, and some of the biggest dominoes to fall—Princeton, Yale, and the University of Virginia—were among the most recent. Many of the institutions that went coed during the first wave of integration had significantly higher male enrollments throughout most of the first half of the 20^th century. During the 1930s at Cornell, for example, the ratio was 3 men to 1 woman. During the same period, the sex ratio at the University of Michigan was 2-to-1.

While the landscape of college hookup culture has been fashioned into something of a straight male fantasy, according to a group of female students who run in the same crowd as Tom, Ryan, and Parker, this romantic terrain turns college men into so-called fuckboys.

Sociologists offer a less crude explanation of the situation. Using data from a survey of 1,000 straight, female American college students, professors Jeremy Uecker and Mark Regnerus showed that on campuses like Rollins, where women make up a higher proportion of the student body, women reported going on fewer traditional dates, were less likely to have boyfriends, and engaged in more hookups with more men.

You heard that right – women are more into casual hook ups than ever. So, step one, head back to college, and step two, download the new OBC app and meet your next co-ed hook up!
