<p>I know a few kids from school who are gay who are all applying to REED because the school has a strong gay community. Is that true? If so how do they find this out? What other schools are like that.</p>
<p>The blasphemy! :o</p>
<p>I know that Reed accepts the gay community and that it has a (nonserious - although nothing is wrong with that) stereotype that everyone is bi. If you are concerned about aspects like this maybe you should look at religious institutions or Bob Jones U or something.</p>
<p>(that was supposed to be a sarcastic shocked look..)</p>
<p>many schools that are commonly thought of as liberal or even hippie tend to have large queer populations. reed, oberlin, vassar, nyu... i think it is because those schools tend to be more accepting and tolerant than, say, religious colleges (like bob jones. oh goodness.).
is a large gay community something that interests you, or repels you? i don't think it should be a criterion when you apply, because you will gravitate towards an environment that you're comfortable in anyway without looking at that one specific thing.</p>
<p>I wasnt being un PC. What is with you? And I dont care just thought it was a good way to start a thread. Reed is pretty gay oriented thats all according to some kids at my school who are gay. anything goes so what?</p>
<p>your original post did kinda sound like you were trying to find schools that had gay populations, and then avoid them..
i think it's an ok question though, it's good to find out about what the students are like at schools you could be interested in.</p>
<p>If I was gay I wouldnt want to go to a school that treated gays badly. Reed is cool with it and so are some others. I like to drink so I am not going to a school that is uptight about it. Otherwise it will affect my social life and that would suck.</p>
