Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has any resources on the colleges with the highest female to male ratio? I understand that some colleges may have higher ratios but is there a way to list them from highest to lowest?
Absolutely, you can easily find the gender ratios of schools through a simple online search. That being said, given that we don't have an inbuilt tool for this, these findings must be verified directly with the respective schools for utmost precision.
A few schools that are known to have a high female to male ratio are Mary Baldwin University and Meredith College, both traditionally women's colleges that have over 90% female enrollment.
At non single-sex schools, you have schools like Boston University, New York University, and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill which have higher female to male ratios.
Please note that while these numbers may reflect the general student body, individual programs within a college or university could have different ratios. For instance, STEM programs traditionally skew more male, while education or nursing programs might skew more female.
Since these ratios can change every year with new incoming classes, for the most current and specific information, I'd recommend directly visiting the college's website or contacting the admissions department.
Remember, the student body's gender distribution is just one factor to consider when choosing a college. You should also consider factors like academic programs, campus culture, location, student services and so on. Having a balance in all these areas can lead to a more enriching college experience.
