<p>Definitely Ohio Wesleyan University, Oberlin, Reed and Vassar. DC is super gay friendly, but Georgetown itself is not.</p>
<p>I very much doubt that 80% of Cal if gay. I'd be willing to actually say that the average for schools (most schools) would be between 5-15% gay.</p>
<p>Just don't go to any Virginia public/private schools</p>
<p>What a sucky place for someone other than straight ppl to be lol (I'm bi and I live in VA lol)</p>
<p>Swarthmore, Yale and Deep Springs.</p>
<p>Nyu .</p>
<p>Does George Washington have a very large gay population? I am not gay, but that is one of the first thing many people have told me when I ask what they know about GW.</p>
<p>does any one know about brown?</p>
<p>I actually know someone who is gay who goes to BC, and he says that it never seems to come up as an issue at all.</p>
<p>yep, NYU, Vassar and St. Lawrence in NY, Reed in Oregon, Oberlin and Ohio Wesleyan in OH.</p>
<p>USC- I have a friend who went there for an interview (gay guy) and they had banners everywhere celebrating gay pride week. He said he was warmly received by everyone and met many welcoming people.</p>
<p>ya i know this is late in coming but it freaked me out that on the first page someone said BYU which is possibly the most homophobic university in the US...yeah i just couldn't not say something.</p>
<p>"i sometimes wonder if ivies do that because they wanna be know as doing that or because they want to
politics and image is so disturbing and confusing"</p>
<p>Probably a bit of both, but so long as they DO do that, what does it matter? And even if it is all for the image, that's not such a bad thing: let us take a moment to pat ourselves on the back as a society for getting to the point where we all at least feel the pressure to appear tolerant.</p>
<p>NYU is the most accepting without a doubt... just look at the area surrounding it.</p>
<p>^ yeah that is so true that a lot of girls who go there complain about the lack of available guys because so many of them are gay</p>
<p>vassar, ohio wesleyan, sarah lawrence. oh, and oberlin in ohio, too.</p>
<p>Pretty much any school with a large arts conservatory that is not in the south will be gay friendly. I think the gay pride group at SUNY Purchase is one of the largest on campus. From what I've been told, it's almost considered quaint to be straight there in a lot of circles. Emerson College has already been mentioned, but ... yeah ... Very gay friendly. See also Carnegie Mellon, University of Hartford, and Otterbein College. I also have a very "out" gay friend who is going to Yale and he seems to feel quite welcomed. Vassar, Bard, and Oberlin ... Yeah ... Supposedly big gay communities. I went to an arts high school and know at least one happy homosexual at all those places.</p>
<p>While a school may appear to be gay-friendly, it only takes one homophobic person on campus to ruin one's college experience. I went to a Jesuit Catholic school where most people were pretty cool, but one racist fool on my dorm floor using the <em>N</em> word all the time made dorm life an uncomfortable experience. No violence, just a lot of hate talk. </p>
<p>If you're that concerned about how life might be for you on a particular campus, check the college website to see if there is any kind of GLBT support group and e-mail them with your questions and concerns. There are colleges with themed residential living environments that also provide support systems. </p>
<p>You might check the following site for information:

<p>or just do a search for "GLBT" and "college" ...</p>
<p>UW-Madison has a very active LGBT community.</p>
<p>I agree with the posts about the south not being very gay friendly. It is not that people hate gays it is just that a lot of people come from small towns and don't know any gays.If you are gay and want to go to school in the south your best bet would be a public school or a private non-denomination school close to a major city. Atlanta is a very gay friendly city and the majority of schools there are good places.There are a few exceptions though: just a couple of months ago a kid was beaten up at Morehouse because his roomate thought he was giving him "dirty looks". UGA is not a gay friendly school because 90% of the students are straight football loving rednecks. 100% of the city of Athens is straight football loving rednecks. UGA has had a slew of racial,homosexual, and religious issues in the past several years. A good way to judge a school is by the mix of different races and cultures.Schools with high mix ratios tend to produce more tolerant students and teachers.</p>
