College Recommendations for LGBTQIA+ Students

Recommendations on college facilities to evaluate when you visit/research a particular college:

• Residence Halls (Do they have gender neutral housing?)
• Bathrooms (Are there single stall bathrooms in every building, etc.)
• Campus Climate (Where geographically is the campus located?
• Academically, can you identify programs that explore and educate students about gender identity, feminism, etc.)

• The more information there is about non-gender conforming students, programs, and facilities available on a college website, the more likely they are to accommodate LGBTIA+ students
• Campus Healthcare: Does it also cover hormone replacement therapy?
• Name Changes: Depending on the school, you may need to contact the registrar, title IX officer and/or residence hall before you arrive 
• Institutional Support: Is there a resource center for LGBTQIA+ students?
