There are things every college student needs to know, like where to register for classes and buy books, or where to get the best food on campus.
If you’re a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or intersex (LGBTI) student coming to the U.S., there’s something else you might want to know: where to find friends and resources to make your experience as memorable as possible.
The good news: “There is space for every speck in the spectrum on an American campus,” says Eissa Saeed, a media student at The George Washington University, originally from Pakistan. “To have that and the allowance to be, to learn and to experience as your true self is quite a luxury.”
What do you want to know about LGBTI campus life? Get answers in a March 3 interactive webchat with Saeed and other LGBTI students from around the world who are studying in the U.S.:
