Currently deciding between Duke, Northwestern, and Carnegie Mellon University, but I am trying to find out more about the gay life on campus and LGBT environment available. Does anyone know how gay-friendly Northwestern’s campus is? How large the population is? Thanks!!
Northwestern is probably the most liberal of those three; 1/3 of the student body are in theater, journalism, education, and music programs. Most people in those programs are very liberal. CMU also has a top drama program but also has a large number of engineers who tend to be a bit more conservative. Furthermore, Chicago has a large “Boystown” in the neighborhood of Lakeview and the city is pretty liberal overall. So the liberal and welcoming attitude is not just confined to the campus.
@IWannaHelp Thank you SO much! Do you know if there are any gays in frats? I know it sounds odd but it’s something I want to consider haha
Yes there are gay students in frats.
