Women Don't Want to Go To Women's Colleges

The New York Times reports:
Only 3.4 percent of girls graduating from high school last year who took the SAT said they would apply to women's colleges, according to the College Board, down from 5 percent 10 years ago.

That statistic is cited over and over by presidents of women'’s colleges in interviews about their future. "The market is telling us young women don'’t want to come to single-sex colleges,"” Ms. Worden said.
Many college campuses have begun to look like women's colleges because of the lack of men on campus.
