The Gay and Lesbian Guide to College Life
Finally, the book that every GLBTQ high school student was waiting for! This resource, written by the college-savvy Princeton Review, covers just about everything you'd need to know to pick a GLBTQ-friendly university, make friends, find a support network, handle being GLBTQ in the residence halls, and deal with less-than-supportive people on campus. It also covers larger issues, like staying healthy and safe, what to do during your out-of-school vacations, and making the transition into the "real" world. Finally, there are several appendices covering GLBTQ scholarships, financial resources, academic resources, support networks, and career resources.The resource has several interviews and tips from GLBTQ students and student leaders from everything to finding dates to finding ways to speak out politically or socially. What it doesn't have is a list of safe schools, but then, you now have all the details to evaluate schools yourself. This is an excellent and very readable guide for an often-overlooked part of the student body.
