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.

Downvoted it because OP didn’t specify where in the world they were, therefore nobody can properly give a good answer. Recommending an overseas university is very different to recommending one from their country.

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.

I think she’s hinting at looking for states that allow abortion.

As if crossing state lines to deal with that isn’t illegal in some places
