Syracuse on this year's ranking list:

At a large university like Syracuse, it can be easy to get lost in a student body thousands strong, but one of the strengths of the LGBT community at this upstate New York school is its organization. Take, for example, the You Are Not Alone initiative. Developed in response to the wave of LGBT teen suicides that garnered the country's attention in 2010, the initiative distributed over 700 t-shirts bearing the campaign's logo and convinced students and faculty members alike to change their profile pictures to the same image on National Coming Out, creating a powerful and incredibly visual message on campus. There is also the STOP Bias campaign, which encourages students

to identify, report, and combat bias discrimination of all kinds in the Syracuse community. These wide-ranging and well-implemented campaigns are what make all the difference for LGBT students looking for community at a university of this size -- quality is important, but so is visibility. Of course, Syracuse also has both an undergraduate and graduate LGBT group, which facilitate other events throughout the year and work in conjunction with the campus's LGBT resource center. Finally, while many schools offer LGBT courses under the banner of gender studies or as singular classes in various departments, Syracuse offers an actual LGBT studies minor to interested students.
