I assume you are refering to the US without explicite writing it. But most European countries should be fine - especially Nordic countries.

University of Michigan. Ann Arbor is a hardcore dem city and in a state with abortion rights protected af

I apologize if this isn't the kind of comment that you're looking for...but what's wrong with the colleges local to you? Do you live in an unsafe area? It makes a hell of a lot more sense to go to a school with in state tuition rather than going across the country to a school with needlessly exorbitantly expensive out of state tuition.

Maybe I was just lucky in the state I grew up in.

Buy the "Fiske Guide to Colleges". It lists hundreds of colleges in the US. You can look up by major, location, price, etc.

It also discusses things like social life, acceptance rate, and amenities.

I have 3 kids that are in or went to college. This was indispensable.

Is this American ? You don't say where. I'm not aware of any difference in the states here in Australia. But if so, maybe RMIT?

I'm sorry you live in a country like that.

Have you considered sending them abroad? I work at a university in Australia and it is actively encouraging female participants in STEM, to break any stereotypes traditional family may have taught them. I think all universities are.like that here.

We are partnered with a university in England and my understanding is they are the same.

You are also able to look at university rankings which cover diversity topics. We have just submitted our data for 2023, so expect new rankings to appear in a few months. Since the data is public, many websites use it for higher education rankings.

Any of the dozens of unis in California should be fine

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?

What do you mean by "states hostile towards women"? What's going on there?

Universities with higher female student ratio are probably a safe bet, although fair warning your daughters will statistically have worse matches for a partner.

Source; went to a school of higher women pop, scored a gem.

Jokes aside though, simply aiming for the best school is a safe bet too.

Not sure if it's implied by I'm assuming you are looking for American schools?

My daughter went to RIT and got a great education with zero harassment issues.

New Jersey has Rutgers, NJIT, and Stevens Institute of Technology. New Jersey in general is positive to women and all schools have programs in place to be inclusive to women in engineering.

BU is a good bet, sticker price is expensive but the financial aid is pretty decent if you can take advantage. I'd definitely recommend them picking a school somewhere they'd probably want to live after college, as getting employment in the same area you're going to school is much easier.

Check out Melbourne University if you live in Victoria.

What makes a good STEM program is usually dependent on both the student and the exact discipline they want. My university had a great engineering department and great wildlife management program, but good luck to you if you want biochemistry.

Other than that? Just avoid the Neoconfederacy. They've even done us all the favor of trying to outlaw abortion, and there are plenty of infographics that can show you the no-go states.

How about Finland?
