Could you please tell me which of the following sentences is grammatically and semantically correct?

1. There are more advantages to studying in a single-sex school than in a coed school.
2. There are more advantages in studying in a single-sex school than in a coed school.
3. There are more advantages of studying in a single-sex school than in a coed school.

Thanks a lot.
 
I'd choose 'of'. We say, "What is the advantage of that?" 'In' is acceptable. I might even say 'from' in that sentence.
 
I would also accept "to".
 
I'd accept the lot, but I'd probably say There are more advantages to studying in a single-sex school than a coed school.
