Colleges with the highest female-to-male ratio?

I'm currently a junior and starting my college search. One thing that I find interesting is the female-to-male ratio at different colleges. Could anyone provide some insight on colleges with the highest female-to-male ratio? Just trying to get a better understanding of the campus dynamics. Thanks!

Many colleges have a relatively even gender balance, but there are some schools where the female-to-male ratio is notably skewed. Here's a list of some prominent colleges and universities with high female-to-male ratios:

1. Barnard College: This women's college in New York City affiliated with Columbia University has a female population of nearly 100%.

2. Wellesley College: Another prestigious women's college located in Massachusetts, also with an almost exclusive female population.

3. Scripps College: A top liberal arts women's college in California that is part of the Claremont Colleges Consortium, with a nearly 100% female population.

4. Simmons University: Located in Boston, Massachusetts, this university has a female-to-male ratio of about 86% to 14%.

5. Meredith College: A private women's college in Raleigh, North Carolina, where the female-to-male ratio is more than 95%.

6. Spelman College: A historically Black women's college in Atlanta, Georgia, with a nearly all-female population.

7. Sarah Lawrence College: This liberal arts college in New York has a higher female-to-male ratio, with approximately 73% of its undergraduates being female and 27% being male.

8. Boston College: This liberal arts college in Boston, Massachusetts, has a female-to-male ratio of about 58% to 42%.

Keep in mind that having a skewed gender ratio can influence campus culture and dynamics, but it's essential to consider other factors such as academic programs, campus resources, and extracurricular activities during your college search. It's also important to visit each school, if possible, to get a feel for the campus environment and see if it's a good fit for you.
