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.

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

Definitely look into European universities if you can afford the plane tickets. I wish I had as a young adult – I’ve heard great things about education quality as well as affordability.

I second Michigan! I live here, and the middle-state cities here are typically full of left-leaning young folks.

The farther north you go, though, the political leanings get worse. Definitely recommend mid & lower Michigan, though.

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.

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.

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?
