An increasing number of men coming out of high school are deciding not to go to college for whatever reason. Women are more inclined to go ahead and get a college education so they can qualify for higher paying and more rewarding careers. Future enrollments will be in the 50 percent range. With the percentage of women increasing on the Drake campus, the men will soon figure this out and start enrolling at Drake where there are lots and lots of women. Enrollment will even out in the near future.
Drake is a very expensive school.
Parents who can afford to send their children to Drake are inclined to have more influence over their daughters than their sons, so they push their daughters to attend Drake where the parents can be more comfortable knowing their daughters are being given more personal attention and more contact with those of their parents' social standing.
