In this article, the author shares her research findings on the differences between how men and women respond to college. She explores some of the cornerstones of the undergraduate experience--living away from home, interacting with faculty, being academically engaged, and learning about diversity--and how they contribute in unique ways to women's and men's development in college. Though these emergent themes probably do not reflect the experiences of "all" women or "all" men--variation within gender is usually greater than differences between the genders--they do reflect tendencies that are observed across the population of college students at four-year colleges and universities.
