Examples of coordinate colleges in the following topics:
-
- By the mid-1800s, several women's colleges had been established, and many were coupled with men's universities as coordinate colleges.
- In the 1970s and 1980s, some of these coordinate colleges were absorbed into the larger university to create coeducational (coed) universities with both men and women.
- The most famous women's colleges in the United States were known as the Seven Sisters colleges and included Mount Holyoke College, Vassar College, Wellesley College, Smith College, Radcliffe College, Bryn Mawr College, and Barnard College.
- Today, five still operate as women's-only colleges, Radcliffe no longer accepts students, and Vassar is coeducational.
- As has long been acknowledged, females now earn higher grades than males, and since the early 1990s, more women than men have been enrolled in college.

- In 2000, affluent students, students who could otherwise afford to pay for college, received "merit" scholarships worth 82% of the need-based aid received by students with the lowest family incomes.
- Colleges tend to draw students from a relatively advantaged background because of their high costs and stiff academic requirements for enrollment.
- What's more, because colleges want to maintain their rankings in various college ranking systems, colleges favor students with higher standardized test scores and aggressively recruit them using "merit" scholarships.
- In 2000, affluent students, students who could otherwise afford to pay for college, received "merit" scholarships worth 82% of the need-based aid received by students with the lowest family incomes.
- This ends up reinforcing the existing status hierarchy by keeping the affluent wealthy, and the poor unable to attend college.

- In 2009 in the United States, 2.9% of adults 35–39 without a college degree were divorced, compared with 1.6% with a college education.
- Success in marriage has been associated with higher education and higher age. 81% of college graduates, over 26 years of age, who wed in the 1980's, were still married 20 years later. 65% of college graduates under 26, who married in the 1980's, were still married 20 years later. 49% of high school graduates under 26 years old, who married in the 1980's, were still married 20 years later.

- There has been a great deal of attention concerning sexual violence on college campuses in recent years.
- The figure below suggests that sexual assaults are relatively rare on college campuses.
- However, fewer than 5% of people raped on college campuses report their sexual assault to law enforcement, which suggests the numbers in the figure may be substantially higher than the figure reports.
- Further, official figures like the one below limit their reporting to "forcible sexual assault" despite mounting evidence that the vast majority of sexual assaults on college campuses do not fit this narrow definition, and typically involve more subtle forms of sexual violence and coercion.
- In fact, in-depth analyses of sexual violence on college campuses generally reveals that sexual assault has become a normal aspect of college experience, culture, and structure for many American women, that on average 1 in 5 college women will be sexually victimized in some way during their college careers, and that common forms of college leisure activity, such as Greek, Party, and Drinking cultures and habits on campuses, often facilitate the normalization of college sexual assault.
-
- Their occupations may require vocational training but generally do not require a college degree, and they likely earn an income above minimum wage but below the national average.
- Members of the working class commonly have only a high school diploma, although some may have minimal college courses to their credit as well.
- Due to differences between middle and working-class cultures, working-class college students may face "culture shock" upon entering the post-secondary education system, with its "middle class" culture.
- Research showing that working-class students are taught to value obedience over leadership and creativity can partially account for the difficulties that many working-class individuals face upon entering colleges and universities.
