In the United Kingdom, more women than men are gaining admission to university, and they are more likely to stay once they get there, according to a study by the Higher Education Policy Institute. The Oxford-based non-profit group's report, Male and Female Participation and Progression in Higher Education, found that almost half of all women aged 17–30 attend college full- or part-time, compared with just over one-third of men of the same ages. About 8% of men aged 17–20 drop out, compared with 6.5% of women the same age, and 17% of men aged 21–30 drop out, compared with 12.3% of women the same age.
