This was my experience too, when I did my CS degree the brochures etc made sure to prominently show female students and the testimonials were balanced to provide around the same amount of female quotes as male.
The end result was still the same though, out of maybe ~90 students there were about 6 females at the start. By the end of the course I think only 2 remained, the numbers were slightly better for the "business computing" courses rather than the hardcore CS but not by much.
There was roughly the same experience at the job fairs towards then end. The companies recruiting were desperate to talk to the female students about technical roles. Even so from what I'm aware most of the female students ended up taking non tech roles.
