UPenn On New List of 25 Best Colleges and Universities for LGBT Students
Once again, the University of Pennsylvania has been named one of the nation’s best universities for LGBT students. The accolade comes from Campus Pride, an organization dedicated to making campuses more gay-friendly. Every year, the group compiles a “Campus Pride Index” based on a series of 50 questions they send to students across the country.
UPenn gets five out of five stars in seven of the eight categories on the questionnaire, including LGBT Policy Inclusion, LGBT Housing and Residence Life, and LGBT Counseling and Health. It gets a 4.5 out of five stars in LGBT Academic Life. Read our profile on the history of Penn as a gay-friendly school here.
