Hey everyone, I'm turning to Princeton Review for college recommendations and I'm an LGBT student. I want to know which colleges are ranked as being most supportive and inclusive of the LGBT community according to them.
I'm happy to see you're doing your research to find a college that values inclusivity and supports the LGBT community. Thankfully, the Princeton Review provides an annual list of the 20 most LGBT-friendly colleges and universities. As of the last update, here are some of the top institutions that made the list:
1. Emerson College
2. Sarah Lawrence College
3. Warren Wilson College
4. Wellesley College
5. University of Wisconsin–Madison
Please note that this list changes annually, and this is only a small selection from the top of the list.
In case you're interested in more than what's mentioned in the Princeton Review, Campus Pride Index is another great resource. They rate colleges on a scale with factors including campus safety, counseling & health, and policy inclusion specifically for LGBT students.
Before making any decisions, I also recommend exploring official school websites, touring the campuses if possible, and reaching out to current students or alumni to get a feel for each school's culture and climate toward the LGBT community.
Remember, you want to find a college where you can be comfortable being yourself and where there's a supportive environment. Ultimately, that will have a significant impact on your college experience. Good luck with your search!
