Last year I asked for college recommendations for my daughter who wanted to go into politics. But, not surprisingly, she's changed her mind. She's interested in math, engineering, or computer science. And she wants to go into disaster relief. I sort of want to recommend the state college (Missouri University of Science & Tech) that has a good engineering program to her-- but I've heard it does a terrible job of recruiting and retaining women. As do certain prestigious schools, like MIT.

Anyone know of a university that has a good math, engineering or comp sci program AND has a good reputation for recruiting & retaining women into the program? Some women (like me) thrive on adversity while others (like my daughter) can put up with it if they have to but would prefer not to have the distraction.
