What is it like being a woman in STEM?

I’m considering going into a STEM career & majoring in STEM in college but I’ve heard it’s hard being a woman and finding a career in it because of the male dominant community.

I have been accepted to many universities for Mathematics Education, but I don't have enough money to attend most of them.
