I’m LGBTQ+ and really trying to get a sense of how inclusive certain schools actually are. Some of the Pride club websites look amazing, but I worry about the vibe outside of that bubble. Will I feel comfortable socially, or like I’m constantly code-switching? I’ve been burned before by workplaces that talked the talk but didn’t walk the walk. Has anyone had genuinely affirming (or disappointing) experiences at specific MBA programs?

CBS Cluster Q seems like a good time

I did a lot of research on this and NYU seems positive

I don’t know about other school, but I’m having a very positive experience in my program. FuquaPride is genuinely interested in building community and giving support to members. This is mostly because FSB has a culture of inclusivity that’s somewhat baked in.

We recently had a Pride weekend where LGBT+ prospective students were welcomed to connect with the club and the school.

P. S. I’m an international student from a homophobic country so it was important for me to be in a business school where I wouldn’t need to ‘hide’. So far, I feel like I made the right choice.

Will it look good on my resume?
