Best universities for women? (lemmy.world)

I have a few daughters looking for science and engineering programs in the next few years. They're all scared to attend schools in states hostile towards women. I get that. I'm looking for recommendations for schools in states positive towards women that have good STEM programs.

Make sure to set out the financial implications of different states. E.g., the California unis might be good - but you're also dealing with out of state tuition.

And also look at the pipeline - I was interested in biology, but all of the people in the program were hyper competitive pre-medical students. And who wants to deal with that?
