<p>What's the gay/ lesbian community like, either within the school, or in the surrounding areas??</p>
<p>I don't know s**t about it, but here's the department of studies: <a href="http://www.arts.cornell.edu/lbg/%5B/url%5D">http://www.arts.cornell.edu/lbg/</a></p>
<p>and here's the campus organization: <a href="http://www.lgbtrc.cornell.edu/%5B/url%5D">http://www.lgbtrc.cornell.edu/</a></p>
<p>This question has been asked in the past, and the general consensus (according to actual Cornell students,) is that Cornell (as a whole) is very tolerant of alternative sexualities. </p>
<p>The school has an active gay-straight alliance, and students are severely punished if they harass people on the basis of their orientation.</p>
<p>okay, but are there alot of gays around????? like, will i have trouble finding girlfriends?????</p>
<p>In a school as big as Cornell, there probably won't be any shortage of gay people for you to date.</p>
