I suppose Brown has some characteristics similar to a liberal arts school (open curriculum, liberal campus), and liberal arts schools typically have more female than male students.

There’s also a general trend in male students under performing which has been attributed from everything to female teachers to blue collar work opportunities to intellectualism incongruity with western masculinity to p 0rn. Due to Brown’s prestige and rigor, I doubt the latter is a major problem; however, on a large scale, it makes college admissions for young women more difficult.
