Based on student demand, the Advocate magazine and publisher Alyson Books have partnered to produce The Advocate College Guide for LGBT Students.  With advice from campus officials and LGBT college students -- the experts themselves - this easy to use guide is the perfect companion for the first generation of out LGBT students.

This new guide profiles the 100 U.S. institutions with the top “Gay Point Average” on critical LGBT issues such as:
  • Gay-affirmative policies
  • Campus events
  • Queer student perspectives
  • Housing for LGBT students
  • Local gay hangouts
  • Gay-friendly support resources
  • Queer studies

THE ADVOCATE COLLEGE GUIDE FOR LGBT STUDENTS is the product of nearly 5,000 online interviews with LGBT students and 500 online interviews with faculty and staff from campuses across the country. Not only does the guide rank the best LGBT campuses, but for the first time, you also hear the reasons why from the experts themselves—LGBT college students.
“Finally! As the first generation of ‘out’ LGBT students prepares for college, they now have the information they need to choose the right campus....The product of thorough and thoughtful research, this guide will be an invaluable resource for LGBT students, their families, and anyone who wants a progressive campus.”—Kevin Jennings, Executive Director, Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) and editor of One Teacher in Ten

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!, August 11, 2006
This review is from: The Advocate College Guide for LGBT Students (Paperback)
What a difference this guide would have made when I was looking for a college. It would have been so much easier to find a school that would make me finally feel safe, comfortable and excepted. If this book had been around when I was searching back in 1997, I probably wouldn't have changed schools TWICE.
The future is BRIGHT! Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars A standard college guide, November 5, 2006
This review is from: The Advocate College Guide for LGBT Students (Paperback)
This guide is obviously the first of its kind, and the author did a great job on researching various schools and providing useful information which comes from faculty and students. However, because the author's attempt to balance the schools between geographical regions, some schools were left out. For instance, the top 20 are not actually the supposedly most friendly ones, but the most friendly ones in each region. Also, like other college guides, too many schools were crammed into one small book, but I guess I can't really complain, since every single college guide was like this. Overall, it's defenitely a great college guide, and a great progress for LGBTQ students.

5.0 out of 5 stars Important research tool for students and administration, August 12, 2006
This review is from: The Advocate College Guide for LGBT Students (Paperback)
This book is great for those looking at their university of choice and administraitions to see what they need to do for their LGBT students. As someone stated before, I wish this information was available years ago. However, it will help me as I research the university I plan to work in as an administrator or academic.
