Sarah Lawrence on this year's ranking list:

Nestled in the suburban communities of Bronxville and Yonkers, Sarah Lawrence is often considered by its students to be a kind of island of liberalism and progressive values. The student body may not be that diverse ethnically, but it certainly is when it comes sexuality – to the point where students stick out if they don't espouse the kind of thoughts normally found in an upper-level queer theory class. And the school's student activities bear that out; Sarah Lawrence has not one but three clubs directly related to LGBT experiences: Queer People of Color, Queer Voice Coalition, and Trans Action. The clubs offer a variety of workshops on topics

like sexual health and the process of transitioning, but this is still college, and so they also throw their fair share of dances, performance nights, and social mixers. At the administrative level, Sarah Lawrencedemonstrates its commitment to LGBT inclusiveness with the Office of Diversity and Campus Engagement, which was first founded in 2004 to support students of color but has since expanded to work on issues relating to sexual orientation and gender identity and expression. Finally, the school offers a robust selection of LGBT-related courses, with recent courses including “The Invention of Homosexuality” and “Virginia Woolf in the 20th Century.”
