I've been so excited for GW for so long, I've decided to definitely go there. I withdrew from the Penn and Michigan waitlists, which was slightly painful to do. But now that it is done, I feel great.I get to DC in August. The DC folks should hang out before classes hamper our social lives.Fabulous!How many DCers does that make?

So! What can anyone tell me about LGBT life at Harvard? I am pretty sure Mike had visited there, so if you are around, I'd really appreciate your comments.

Absy (and, to some extent, lyquidmyrrrh) are probably more qualified to talk about the LGBT atmosphere at Harvard, but I'll throw in my two cents. Harvard seems to be a pretty great place to be gay. I brought my bf to the admit weekend, and didn't feel awkward at all. One of the faculty-guided discussions addressed the constitutionality of gay marriage and domestic partnership benefits, and the whole crowd seemed really progressive and pro-gay rights. The Lambda Law group seems to have a pretty strong presence on campus, and they have a pretty large membership. And, of course, Boston/Cambridge is a pretty gay-friendly city. It's not quite as gay at the SF Bay Area, but close.Good luck on your decision!

Absy / lyquidmyrrh, if you guys are around, I'd love to hear from you as well.

Congrats on the decision Dru!
I'd pop in to note that Harvard is very socially progressive and pro-gay (even the most right wing people in my section were still very gay friendly, at least outwardly), though the community is definitely bigger on the male end than the female - I only know of 7 queer women in my class, and couldn't count the number of queer men, but I know it's much higher.
