College Choice cited the university’s LGBT support services; its outreach program, U Out, and a number of student groups — including the Queer Ally Coalition, Bridges: Speakers Bureau, OUTreach and the Standing Committee on LGBT Concerns. The ranking also called attention to the university’s gender inclusive housing and the queer studies minor through the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies.

Since last summer, the university has implemented over 100 gender inclusive bathrooms on campus and updated the interactive maps to reflect where the all-gender bathrooms are located. Buildings with at least one gender-inclusive bathroom include Straub Hall, the Student Recreation Center, Allen Hall and Prince Lucien Campbell Hall.
