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.

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

Texas, Florida, Idaho, Ohio, Oklahoma....

We are in Florida and the universities are fine, except for the loss of the New College (may RDS rot in hell for what he did to that school). But if they are interested in engineering they wouldn't have needed the free school.

If it's cool here, it's probably fine everywhere. Colleges are filled with kids from different places.

Many states in the US are on an anti-abortion warpath. I live in North Carolina, which recently outlawed abortion after 12 weeks. I want to move elsewhere -- I feel unsafe and uncared for.

I have never been so grateful to live in the PNW. We're a bit of a hike from NC, but you'd be plenty safe here!
