[quote=Anonymous]I was a Cornell engineering student back in the 90s and never experienced any issues there related to gender. I didn't participate much in SWE and didn't really seek out any additional female support mostly because I already felt well-supported by my advisors, professors, and peers. Your DD may find she has a lot of support even it's not female-specific. Anyway, Cornell has a fairly big engineering school, but it's broken down into several disciplines. These smaller communities fostered collaboration and support. There was a lot of camaraderie as we all worked through tough work loads together. Advisors were helpful, but there wasn't a lot of hand holding. I had one terrible professor but liked/loved the rest. There are opportunities to work closely with the professors and work on some cool projects, but you need to seek those out. [/quote]
