Male only colleges

As I searched for how many male only colleges were left I could not come upon an exact number. But as I read articles it was clear the number has dropped quite a bit over the years. This was really not surprising to me since more and more women are now going to college then they did twenty years ago. Years ago women rarely went on to get a higher education it was the men that were supposed to go to college, but that idea has changed a lot. In an article from USA Today, they stated that women now make up 57% of all the college students in the United States (Marklein). So when you hear that there are not as many male only colleges left that is because there are not as many men going to college anymore, and the demand for all male colleges has diminished.
The CNN story about the guy that wants admittance in an all girls school was surprising because I have never heard of that happening before. Even though I cannot relate to this story I feel as though if someone is trying to further their education in anyway then why not let them go to an all male or all female college. I personally do not think that all girls or all guys schools are that good anyways because in the real world men and women are not going to be separated. So why would you create a college where men and women would not be interacting with each other.
