At private Mount Union College in Alliance, the ratio is 53 percent women and 47 percent men. But this fall's freshman class will have 387 men and 314 women -- possibly because the college won a Division III national football championship last year, spokeswoman Diane Thomas said.

And at private Hiram College, last year's enrollment tipped toward men and so will this fall's.

Jim Barrett, executive director of admissions, said he didn't know what sparked the change, as Hiram hasn't added a program that would be unusually attractive to men and admissions are blind when it comes to gender. ``It was an accident of fate,'' he said.

Because guys don't want to settle down and have many women to pick from, ``a lot of my friends struggle with finding someone they like and that likes them,'' she said.
