LGBT Online Student Community

One challenge LGBT student groups have is connecting with people outside of their small on campus circle. A great online LGBT community worth mentioning is TopOutColleges.com.

The site lists the top 500 most LGBT-friendly American colleges as rated on a ten-star scale by college students and alumni, according to their overall experiences with campus issues, i.e. life in the dorms, campus LGBT events, contact with campus LGBT groups, etc.

TopOut's Executive Director, Brent Robinson said, “We created this website so that members of the LGBT college student community could use their own voices when rating the LGBT-friendliness of their college, and so that prospective students could then see those votes and opinions from real college students, and use them in their decision making process when choosing a college,” said Robinson. “Now that these new functions have been added, we are getting rave reviews from students who have been eager to fully express themselves on the LGBT issues they are facing on their college campuses.”

Though I have not personally tried the site I wonder what protection they have against fraudulent voting?
