The private liberal arts women’s college ranked in fifth place among colleges nationwide in the latest edition of the Princeton Review’s “The Best 385 Colleges” within the LGBTQ-friendly category. Schools were ranked based on how positively students answered when asked, “Do students, faculty, and administrators treat all persons equally, regardless of their sexual orientation and gender identity/expression?”
