<p>I'm considering one of my state schools on top of two privates. It is Sonoma State in CA. They have a major that I want to pursue (Kinesiology). Financially it is doable, but its a bit close to home (which I guess 40 mins away is alright). Now I'm just wondering if anyone know the atmosphere of the college? Does it seem pretentious? friendly? liberal? etc. I also want to know how do they view gay people since I am a gay male. I am finding out that they have Queer Studies at campus and have an active LGBTQ club, which is definitely a plus. But overall, I want to know if I can feel safe around campus knowing that I'm different. If anyone have any input, it'll be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>It's 40 minutes from your house. Visit.</p>
<p>I took a summer class there.
Pretentious....no way. Friendly, liberal....yes.</p>
<p>I don't remember anyone asking anyone else who was gay.</p>
<p>I don't see you having any problems, but visit.</p>
