Conn named Connecticut’s most LGBTQ-friendly college

Connecticut College has been named the most LGBTQ-friendly college in the state, according to a new list compiled by BestColleges, in partnership with Campus Pride.

In honor of Pride Month, BestColleges used data available from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and Campus Pride’s Index Score to rank the most LGBTQ-friendly institutions in each state. The methodology emphasizes LGBTQ-friendly policies, institutional commitment, academic life, housing and counseling, as well as academic quality and affordability.

Conn’s LGBTQIA community is supported by active student groups, a safe and welcoming LGBTQIA Center, robust gender and sexuality programs, a diverse academic program, and a number of campus-wide policies and services.
