Not only do women now attend college in greater numbers than men, a new survey finds they also enjoy college more and have a better attitude about attending. Women are more satisfied with college than men, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. Half of female graduates rated American higher education as excellent in terms of value compared to only 37% of men. Women were also more likely to say college had helped them grow personally and intellectually. Other findings:
- 14% of women agreed with the statement that most people can afford college today, compared with 26% of men.
- 40% of women, but only 29 percent of men, reported that their parents had paid for college.
