Colleges with large LGBTQ+ communities?

Hey all, I'm starting to build my college list and as a lesbian, one important thing for me is the presence of a strong LGBTQ+ community on campus. Do you all have recommendations on colleges with vibrant LGBTQ+ student bodies?

Sure, I can provide some colleges that are known for having strong and vibrant LGBTQ+ communities. Here is a non-exhaustive list:

1. University of Washington: The school ranks highly for LGBTQ+ inclusivity thanks to a robust student life with plenty of resources and organizations.

2. University of California—Los Angeles (UCLA): Known for its robust LGBTQ+ Resource Center, offering numerous resources for queer and trans students, such as support groups, events, and educational programs.

3. University of Pennsylvania (UPenn): UPenn has been a leader in LGBTQ+ inclusivity, and they have a dedicated LGBTQ+ center that's been serving the community for over 35 years.

4. University of Wisconsin—Madison: The university has an LGBTQ+ Campus Center that provides several valuable resources, such as academic outreach, workshops, and even a Gender and Sexuality Campus Center library.

5. University of California, Berkeley: Known for its progressive views, Berkeley offers students an LGBTQ+ resource center and several LGBTQ+-oriented student organizations.

6. Brown University: This school is known for being very inclusive and has a dedicated LGBTQ Center that offers resources and organizes events.

Remember to visit each school's website and reach out to the respective LGBTQ+ Centers (if existent) to learn more about the support services they offer. But, also consider the overall climate and culture of these schools, and not only their LGBTQ+ resources. Furthermore, the strength of the academic programs you're interested in and financial aid availability should also play a role in your decision-making process.
