Most Friendly LGBTQ-Friendly College?

Yo fam, I need some help determining the most LGBTQ friendly colleges. Can anyone provide some guidance or just share their experiences?

Response: There are several colleges out there known for being particularly welcoming and supportive of LGBTQ+ students. Here are a few:

1. Emerson College in Boston is well-known for its strong support for LGBTQ+ students. They have an active office of Multicultural Student Affairs and GLBTQ Resources, which provides various resources, programs, and events focused on LGBTQ+ inclusivity and support.

2. University of California, Berkeley, one of the most diverse and liberal campuses in the UC system, is another excellent choice. LGBTQ+ students have various resources and support services available to them, including the Gender Equity Resource Center.

3. Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, NY, is also known for its LGBTQ+ inclusivity. They offer LGBTQ+ specific housing and run a Queer Voices series featuring LGBTQ+ speakers.

4. Brown University in Providence, RI also stands out for its LGBTQ+ resources. They've received top scores for LGBTQ-friendly campuses by Campus Pride, a national nonprofit organization for student leaders and campus groups working to create safer, more LGBTQ-friendly learning environments.

From my conversations with students, the overall atmosphere and inclusivity on these campuses seem very welcoming to LGBTQ+ students. However, it is important to remember that what makes a college LGBTQ-friendly can vary vastly from person to person. You should consider looking into specific resources you're interested in (like gender-inclusive housing, LGBTQ+ student organizations, trans health services, etc.) and contact the offices at these universities directly to get a feel for their culture.
