According to BestColleges.com, UNLV is the best college for LGBTQ students in the state of Nevada.

UNLV was judged on several different criteria but ultimately stood out for their LGBTQ pride month programming, safe zone trainings, and the Stonewall Suites on-campus LGBTQ community.

Here's more from the BestColleges.com website:

The university's Student Engagement & Diversity department offers 'Safe Zone trainings' aimed at promoting inclusivity and alliances within the student body, as well as the greater Las Vegas community. UNLV also features a 'Trans Lifeline' that offers support, encouragement, and advocacy for trans students. Other LGBTQ-friendly organizations found on the UNLV campus include Spectrum, the university's primary queer student organization, the Trans People of Color Coalition, and Outsports, an organization geared toward queer athletes.

The embracing of diversity at UNLV speaks volumes not only for the university, but the city as a whole.
