Gay Friendly Colleges

[alant]

Hey Everyone!

I just saw my current school as the #1 in Newsweek's list of Gay Friendly Schools and wanted to ask you guys this question:

To you, what makes a college "gay friendly?"

In my experience, I've found it to be a lack of homophobia and integration of all types of diversity into every social group. As a member of the greek system that has recently been open about his sexuality, I found my friends in my house/groups to be very accepting and supportive...has this been your experience? What's silly though is that I'm having trouble meeting and integrating into the LGBT community...any tips on how to do that would be much appreciated!

I think it has to be an environment where the students feel safe enough to be able to be theirselves

Meeting people in the LGBT community is definitely the most difficult part. I go to NYU and I find it difficult to find any connection to the community even though I practically swim through a sea of gays to get to class.

It really comes down to how involved you get in your school LGBT groups, LGBT community centers, things like that. Volunteer your time, go to some events and you'll definitely meet more awesome people.
