I'm a female student and I'd personally prefer a college with a higher percentage of female students. Are there specific colleges that are known for having more female students than male?
Certainly, there are quite a few colleges and universities in the United States that have a majority of female students. Here are a few noteworthy ones across the country:
1. Meredith College - North Carolina: This is a liberal arts women's college where, as you would expect, practically all enrolled students are women.
2. Boston University - Massachusetts: Though not a women's college, has a gender ratio of about 59% female to 41% male.
3. University of South Florida - Florida: Like George Mason, the gender ratio sits at about 57% female to 43% male.
4. SUNY The College at Brockport - New York: Similar to the above-mentioned, this college has a gender ratio of approximately 59% female to 41% male.
It's worth noting that these percentages could shift over time, as enrollment can change year by year. Also, remember that the gender ratio of a school is just one factor to consider when choosing a college. You should also look at factors like the programs offered, the campus culture, size, location, and the types of support services available. These elements can also greatly affect your college experience.
