So, not very diverse?

I agree with this. FWIW we have heard of good experiences for Lesbian students at Franklin and Marshall.

I agree. Other than the very religious schools, what schools aren't good for lesbians these days?


Even Salve Regina?

For the smaller liberal arts schools, I'd do a vibe check before applying. They are such small communities and can get so inflamed by LGBTQIA and categories and micro aggressions and being labeled discriminatory for not wanting to be with a trans woman and it can feel hyper political and stressful depending on the school.


BU the Catholic university?

For parents who went to college in the 80s and 90s, it is an enormous change, but the kids (vast majority anyway) truly don't care. LGBTQ kids are everywhere and go everywhere. I agree with the advice to avoid very religious schools, but that's pretty obvious. I also agree with the poster who wrote about small SLACs in small towns. They will be very supportive places, but there is a chance of the community being small and having its own dynamic. But even there, it's not like the old days of women's colleges, Wesleyan, Oberlin , and Carleton being the safe spaces among small schools and everywhere else being a risk.

+1 something like 25% of GenZ is LGBTQIA+. Save for very conservative, religious schools, nobody cares.


I hadn’t seen that stat before.


I think this is a conservative stat bc the lgbtqia+ umbrella is just adding more and more to the alphabet such that it includes every possible “category” of identity that is not Cis-gender hetero.
And teens like to be “unique” while still fitting in. Being cis-gender hetero is very out and too “normal” these days.

BU is not Catholic. Perhaps you have confused it with BC.

No, it’s the constant adding of UVA to threads on Ivy League schools or SLACs or other questions that UVA doesn’t fit in that are irrelevant.

I would probably avoid places like WF and Clemson.

OP here, I know which ones to avoid; also have a grasp on how open most schools are.

What I am trying to discern, which is difficult to do through google searches, is, get more granularity as opposed to the broader "LGBTQ+ friendly"

I go to a Women’s college and have lots of friends who go to them as well. It’s definitely the best option. Very friendly and open. It’s the norm.

I think you are set then. Knowing what to avoid is the best first step. There is no way to really know exactly what schools are right because someone could have a bad experience anywhere.
