I’m currently a junior, and now, it seems, I need to be drafting a list of colleges to look at. There’s all the information that usually gets a lot of attention, size, area, prestige, quality of programs, etc, but, honestly, all of that is completely subordinate, for me, to one factor: the quality of support for transgender students.

That would mean a very liberal environment, co-ed housing, specific non-discrimination policies, inclusive school documents (identifying name and sex in alignment with gender identity), active LGBT groups, and health plans which cover transition-related expenses.

For the most part, I’m interested in top-tier liberal arts schools, but I’m not asking for suggestions right now, although they’re welcome. My main question is as to how I might go about finding information regarding these issues.
