<p>so yeah... i think the title says it all.
any ideas?</p>
<p>Wesleyan University is a small liberal arts college with a large percentage of gays.
Check out the Wesleyan University link under Top LAC's in the Colleges section of this website.
Great school from what I hear.
Wesleyan</a> University -- Middletown, Connecticut</p>
<p>Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, Brown, Columbia, Penn, Amherst, Williams, Dartmouth, Middlebury, Haverford, Swarthmore.</p>
<p>Pretty much all of them, but I can't speak for the tech-schools and schools in the South.</p>
<p>NYU I hear is very accepting of gays, so there may be a large percentage. But I'd only apply there if you're willing to pay 50k a year and will apply to Stern or Tisch.</p>
<p>Also check this out <a href="http://www.princetonreview.com/college/research/rankings/rankingDetails.asp?CategoryID=2&TopicID=24%5B/url%5D">http://www.princetonreview.com/college/research/rankings/rankingDetails.asp?CategoryID=2&TopicID=24</a></p>
<p>Yale is number one. Then urban top schools. Dartmouth and Williams have their share but I've never know anyone to pick one of those for their gay population, they're jock schools.</p>
<p>Vassar College, certainly.</p>
<p>Berkeley...duh? it's right outside san francisco, the gayest city in the us</p>
<p>Yale has the best and best-funded lesbian and gay studies program in the country, and student body to match.</p>
<p>^By ur reasoning u b wrong cuz usf is right inside sf so USF then must be must be the gayest</p>
<p>Berkeley is very gay friendly though....</p>
<p>I'd also suggest maybe Pitzer.</p>
<p>Add Carleton College to the list.</p>
<p>Hasn't this question been asked like a bazillion times recently?

<p>^^ I think the OP is looking for more than gay friendliness, but rather gay "prominence."</p>
<p>I don't know the actual percentage, but in certain living groups at MIT, there's a pretty big LBGT population. And if we're going for prominence...in 2005-2006 the undergraduate body president was an openly gay man.</p>
<p>Oh, how could I forget: NYU!
60:40 F:M ratio, but there's a joke that goes that of the men available, half are gay and half are taken. Or was that half have STDs?</p>
<p>Oberlin!!!!</p>
<p>The</a> Chronicle: 10/13/2000: Reflections of a Gay Athletics Director</p>
<p>I am surprised no one even mentioned this school</p>
<p>I read here that 25% of guys at Yale are gay</p>
<p>any others?</p>
<p>Also Sarah Lawrence, and if you are a lesbian, any all women's (seven sisters type) schools, which are academically excellent. Most northeastern LACS in the top ten or twenty. I have heard bad stuff about Duke, though, from gay friends of mine who have gone there. (Don't know this first hand, just from them)</p>

<p>I'm a little confused by the way you are asking the quesion. I'm not sure what you are getting at by "prominent gay population".</p>
<p>Swarthmore is extremely accepting of its gay members, who are well represented in leadership positions in the student body, the faculty, and the administration.</p>
<p>If you are looking for a notably friendly place for gay students, then I would add Swarthmore to your list. If you mean "prominent" in terms of gay rights demonstrations every weekend, then probably not. In terms of numbers, I don't know of a college that asks sexual orientation, so any numbers you read will, by definition, be somebody's guess.</p>
