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.


The norm? Really?

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.

I would probably avoid places like WF and Clemson.

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.

BU the Catholic university?

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

+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.

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.

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?
