LGBT Environment Concerns

The campus is very tolerant, I wouldn’t worry about your safety at all (other than what any kid should worry about). UF is very libertarian, while the city and campus is very liberal. However, you never know how someone will respond, so I understand that concern.

Have you checked out UF’s LGBTQ affairs?
