The preceding sentence before quoted mentioned a LBTGQ student being concerned about areas hostile to their existence. Different college campuses in the same state can have different types of support for LBTGQ students, different degrees of LBTGQ representation in the general student population, and different degrees of general hostility. A student may also want to review specific policies that interest them, such as situation with housing options, roommate assignment, bathrooms, etc. Simply looking at whether the college is in a red or blue state is unlikely to be sufficient.
That said, there are some state specific legislations that are common among all colleges within the state. I suspect you were hinting at access to abortion, which of course does vary by state (among other factors).
