<p>Any small (2500 or less undergrads) very queer-friendly liberal arts colleges?</p>
<p>Lots and lots. Those known for being politically liberal/activist will serve you well. Off the top of my head: Oberlin, Vassar, Swarthmore, Sarah Lawrence… and many more. (Though Oberlin and Vassar are on the large side for LACs, around 3000 undergrads.)</p>
<p>All of them.</p>
<p>^ Eh, I don’t know. There are plenty of Very Christian LACs.</p>
<p>But yes, LACs are generally very queer-friendly institutions. I would add Reed and Wesleyan to the list.</p>
<p>vassar, smith</p>
<p>any lesser-known ones? Vassar is a reach for me.</p>
<p>Below Vassar you’re into non need blind schools. Is money a factor?</p>
<p>I looked back and found your stats: </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>A lot of the colleges up there are probably very reachy, yes. Try Lewis and Clark, Willamette, Whitman (this one’s probably a bit of a reach still), New College of Florida, Evergreen State?</p>
<p>If you can write well and are a good fit, Reed is notorious for being much-less stats based than other schools of its caliber. It’s a tough place, though.</p>
<p>haavain, thank you. I think Reed has a bit too many drugs for my liking but the others look good.</p>
<p>Another school you might consider is the College of New Jersey. It’s got an LAC-like feel and a reasonable price, and it’s a good school.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What gives you that impression? Reed is a huge reach, in any case.</p>
<p>No one can help you if you are so prejudicial yourself. How ignorant it is to say that you want gay friendly, yet give an ignorant assessment of Reed College, which sends more grads to PhD programs than almost any school in the country? Reed is a very hardcore and serious undergrad college, it is not for lightweights.</p>
<p>edit to say: I see you would not likely get in there, I would erase my comment, except for kids, with better stats and gpa, that could get in that might read this later.</p>

<p>It’s not an ignorant assessment, it’s something my highly esteemed educational consultant told me. But thank you.</p>
<p>Check out this website, which gives ratings to how LGBT friendly a college is. </p>

<p>Well, xcatastrophex, your educational consultant is misinformed, and you would be wise in doing your own research. Granted, Reed is more open about drugs on campus, but there aren’t “too many” drugs compared to most colleges on this thread.</p>
<p>Paradox7- Check this out. No need to bash OP. </p>
<p>[Oregon</a> prosecutors demand ‘zero tolerance’ for drugs at Reed College | OregonLive.com](<a href=“http://www.oregonlive.com/news/index.ssf/2010/04/oregon_prosecutors_demand_zero.html]Oregon”>Oregon prosecutors demand 'zero tolerance' for drugs at Reed College - oregonlive.com)</p>
<p>boiledegg, I never accused xcatastrophex of anything; I just advised him/her. Also, when you quote an article so boldly and proudly, see the kind of criticism the kind of journalism it represents, has come under. There is a huge section of the elite and masses alike, that believe that Reed is not alone in its “drug problems”, and there needs to be a more educated stance than a zero-tolerance policy. So much for the “zero tolerance” and Reed’s alleged problems with drugs, drug dealers and everything that follows, not a single arrest was made by the police during Renn Fayre. What does that go to say boiledegg? Yes, of course, Reed is the only college with drugs on campus in the entire universe. </p>
<p>If you want to look into Reed and drug issues, I suggest you look at more balanced journalism than of the yellow, sensationalist variety. </p>
<p>Here you go:
[News:</a> An Intervention at Reed - Inside Higher Ed](<a href=“http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2010/04/26/reed]News:”>http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2010/04/26/reed)</p>
<p>The same publication you cite from, went onto publish another article after Renn Fayre, which interestingly says, and I quote, “If everyone on campus is a stoner, why do so many Reed graduates do so many great things?”</p>
<p>You can read the entire piece here:</p>

<p>So, you see, while you may revel in the pleasure of knowing Reed has all the drugs in the world that no other college campus has, you have to acknowledge that despite it, Reedies go onto do some spectacular things that a lot of graduates from other “stoner” colleges do not do.</p>
