I was talking to a friend of mine, and she mentioned that a gay friend of hers’ left CalTech because he wasn’t comfortable there. Since I am applying to CalTech, I want to know if I will be comfortable there.
My son has a number of friends who are LGBTQ at Caltech. It seems very accepting. I would not be concerned about that aspect, though of course the dating pool is small since there are only ~950 undergrads total.
I don’t think CalTech students have time for sex…only half joking here. Friend of mine’s son went there.
I go to Caltech, and I very seriously doubt that an LGBT individual would have recently left Caltech for reasons relating to their gender or sexuality. There is a large and visible LGBT population here with many systems of support and organizations dedicated to LGBT people.
