I’m new to CC so I’m not sure exactly what I’m supposed to list…</p>
<p>Thank you maxwell123! Garridokiwi, I’m hesitant about going to an all-girls school because I currently attend one lol. I’m looking for a coed school that just happens to be very accepting :)</p>
<p>Vassar is one but there are so many it might be easier to determine which are NOT LGBT friendly. If you eliminate religious schools then pick those that suit you best without considering their LGBT friendliness and then determine that aspect of the school.</p>
<p>Agree with amtc. Gay-friendliness is not a big limitation. Indeed, for a lot of people (though, of course, not all–which is very sad) college is the time when and the place where it begins to “get better.”</p>
<p>A better strategy for you, IMO, is to find a number of colleges and universities that appeal to you on the basis of size, location, academic programs, cost, campus atmosphere, etc. (i.e., the more widely publicized criteria), and that you’re a suitable candidate for, and then toss the ones that are rainbow-hostile. You probably won’t be taking very many off your list.</p>
<p>I second Smith College. It’s a match, and it’s part of a five college consortium which includes UMass and Hampshire, both of which are coed.</p>
<p>Muhlenberg College
Hendrix College</p>
<p>most urban colleges are friendly…</p>
<p>Agree with the other posters. Both Oxford of Emory and UC Berkeley are very LGB (not sure about the T) friendly places, but they are extremely different from each other in just about every other capacity. One thing to keep in mind is that it may be harder to find women to date at smaller, more rural schools which aren’t noted for their unusually high lesbian population. The students at such schools may have no issues with your sexual orientation, but your girlfriend options might be more limited than they would be at a place like the University of Oregon.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>SLC’s offerings are good in visual and performing arts, writing, literature, history, and psychology, but somewhat limited in other subjects.</p>
<p>Scripps is part of the Claremont consortium, so you get 5 small colleges together essentially making up one larger campus. Scripps is all women and LGBT friendly, but you will also have 4 other co-ed colleges right next store where you can take classes and meet people in activities.</p>
<p>Since your “all girls” high school shut down your GSA, I’m going to guess that it is different from most TOP women’s colleges to a remarkable degree. Any 7 sisters/former sister or progressive women’s college (like Scripps, Agnes Scott, Hollins, or other non-religiously affiliated women’s school) is going to be friendly. </p>
<p>Most LACs are very QUILTBAG friendly as well…especially those like Vassar, Sarah Lawrence, and Wheaton which were once all women, but also the rest. (Colby, my own alma mater, recently had one of its professors become the first Trans* person to join the Board of Directors of GLAAD.) Really, I’d just recommend avoiding big sports, big Greek, and big religion. Otherwise, the academic environment will also encourage an accepting attitude for Queer life.</p>
<p>Thank you all so much! Which schools do you think I have a chance at with my stats?</p>
<p>Oberlin!!!</p>
<p>Buuuumpppppp</p>
<p>University of Vermont! Your stats are on the higher end for UVM, but that means you could get some money! The city of Burlington is VERY liberal and very accepting! It also has a really nice downtown. The state of Vermont is really accepting as a whole. I can’t really speak to other schools that much but I just thought I’d put in my two cents for Vermont since I live in the area.</p>
<p>Funny that you suggested that because I just got my scholarship letter from UVM today! 
i really like the school but the out of state tuition is super high even with the scholarship</p>
<p>Haha what a coincidence! But yeah, it’s definitely not cheap out of state… It’s pretty expensive for in state as well :P!</p>
