“Sax is the first to examine the issue of gender difference in college in a systemic, comprehensive fashion. Her purpose is to analyze whether college impacts gender differences.

Sax generates new research questions to provide insights into how the college-going experience for men and women can be improved. She offers implications concerning financial circumstances, connection to family, student-faculty interactions, the presence of women faculty, academic engagement, academic self-confidence, health and well-being, impact of diversity programming, and careers and majors.

… A must read for researchers, practitioners, faculty, and students.”
