For young people who are out and ready to find an accepting community, college consideration is all the more important. While there’s no “school for gay students,” there are many college campuses that can be far more welcoming than others, with plenty of LGBTQ+ resources and advice already at your disposal. Here are some resources for finding communities that have already been made safer through the efforts of the administration. We included some scholarships for LGBTQ+ students looking to get help for paying for college as well.
