In this article from the Denver Post, we confirm a fact that is already known. More and more, colleges and universities are a hostile environment for men who are either dropping out or never going in the first place. Some don’t want to be saddled with outrageous levels of debt that they will never be able to repay. Others don’t want to have to navigate the SJW fake date rape accusation circus. And others believe that they can succeed in the world without what has become a rapidly declining status symbol.
Some of the young men shunning campus say they don’t want to take on massive student-loan debt.
“If you don’t want to go to college you can go to a trade school and come away with something and not be on the hook for $150,000,” said 28-year-old Adam Stark, who dropped out of college and now is thriving in the music business in Denver.
Others say the campus environment has become testy, even hostile, toward men. “You definitely get the sense you are the problem,” said Maxwell. “One woman once told me that she could use statistics to determine how many of my friends were rapists.”
Whatever the reason, enrollment data show men are becoming less of a presence on college campuses both in Colorado and across the United States.
