Is Washington & Lee University intolerable for a liberal?

jostri, I think you are getting some bad advice in this thread. W&L is not diverse and is conservative, but it is not intolerant. It’s conservative not because its students were trying to go to the most conservative school they could find. It just happens to draw students from more conservative backgrounds. I think you will find that sexuality is not an issue for most persons you encounter. Since there are probably less gay students there than at many campuses, you won’t find as many students who are similar to you in that regard and won’t have the same resources, but that does not sound like what you’re looking for. I do agree with the advice of another poster that you talk with students in gay organizations to see what they have experienced.
