i was accepted to vanderbilt and it is currently my top choice. i visited the campus for an admitted students day, but it was difficult to get a sense of how the lgbt community was viewed/treated. i want to be comfortable being out about my sexuality and i want to be able to date people, etc. will attending vanderbilt be conducive to this?
You might want to post this in the Vanderbilt forum to get more first-hand responses. I’m sure experiences vary, but anecdotally, I have a friend at Vanderbilt who isn’t out publicly because many of her friends (specifically in her sorority) have previously expressed homophobic feelings. Again, that’s one story, and I’m sure there are many other views, so asking Vandy students specifically may give you more insight.
