The ideal would be 50-50. That's how experts would like to see college campuses split by men and women. But for decades women have made up the majority of college undergrad populations. Now experts say the gender gap is stabilizing and could begin to close in the near future. 57% of females attend and graduate from college whereas only 43% of males do.

"I think that women, we've always been really ambitious and before we didn't have the chance to show it. I think that now that we have the chance we're going to take full advantage of it," says Vanessa McKinnie, a FSU student.

"Maybe because we are prone to be successful in school. It's kind of a stereotype we have and I guess we just follow it," said Cordelia Sheehan, a FSU student.

But there are still a few groups that are lagging behind. Just 9% of Hispanic men have earned their bachelors degree, a number that is concerning to other minority groups.

"Most minorities don't have the advantage of growing up with a family that has a college education. So they don't place too much importance on education," added Camilo Leon, a Colombian-American FSU student.

Many believe the upswing toward closing the gender gap has to do with both men and women wanting more out of their careers.

"Most people don't get employed anymore with just a high school education, except at fast food restaurants and retail stores. And with the economy and the job market, it's almost impossible to get a job with a college education right now," said Michael Siegfried, a FSU student.

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is investigating whether certain college admissions allow more men into the school than women to even out the numbers. But at this point no school has been accused of doing anything like that.
