College Gender Statistics: Most Female-Dominated Schools?

Just curious here, but do any of you guys know which colleges have the most female students? I ask because I'm really interested in women-led spaces and want to choose a campus where I'll fit. Thanks!

There are several schools known for having a higher percentage of female students. For example, the Seven Sisters colleges, which include Vassar College, Smith College, and Wellesley College, were once all-female institutions but have since gone co-ed (except for Smith and Wellesley). These schools still maintain a high female student population.

Also worth looking at are similarly notable women's colleges like Barnard College and Scripps College. These institutions are unique in that they offer an undergraduate experience entirely dedicated to women's education, while also providing the resources of larger co-ed universities.

Another example within the public sphere is Georgia State University, which consistently ranks among the universities with the highest percentages of female students.

Remember, it's not just about the gender ratio, but also about the role of women on campus. Many co-ed institutions also have a strong focus on empowering female students through various programs, organizations, and mentorship opportunities.

At the end of the day, finding a community and environment that aligns with your values and interests should be a top priority in your college search. These colleges are great starting points, but don't hesitate to explore beyond this list.
