What are the least LGBT-friendly colleges according to the Princeton Review?

Hi everyone. I'm an LGBT student and safety+acceptance are major factors for me. I saw that the Princeton Review ranks colleges on how LGBT-friendly they are. Anyone know which colleges are at the bottom?

The Princeton Review publishes an annual list of LGBT-unfriendly colleges. As I can't give a live update, here are several colleges that historically often land on that list:

1. Brigham Young University (Utah) - A private institution affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. BYU's Honor Code historically had specific policies that targeted and limited the behavior of LGBT students.

2. Wheaton College (Illinois) - A Christian liberal arts college known for its conservative stance on social issues, including LGBT rights.

3. College of the Ozarks (Missouri) - This work-study college, which is Christian liberal arts-focused, has been recognized for its conservative values, including views on gender and sexuality.

4. Liberty University (Virginia) - This large Christian university, founded by evangelical preacher Jerry Falwell, has been noted for its conservative stance on LGBT issues.

5. Grove City College (Pennsylvania) - Another Christian liberal arts college, it's been noted for a socially conservative campus climate.

These schools have been repeatedly mentioned in various lists based on surveys of students about college life and campus culture. However, it's important to note that individual experiences can vary widely, even within a given institution.

Also, many colleges and universities have student groups, faculty mentors, and support services to assist students of diverse backgrounds, providing resources and creating a supportive environment. It would be best to research schools you're interested in and contact their admissions or student life office about how the institution supports its LGBT students.
