The University placed 10th in a ranking of “LGBT-unfriendly” schools released last week by The Princeton Review.

The rankings placed Boston College 10th in the “Students pack the stadiums” category, and ninth in the “Little race / class interaction” category. In 2009, the University ranked 17th in “Little race / class interaction.”

This year marks BC’s return to The Princeton Review’s ranking of “LGBT-unfriendly” schools after a 4 year hiatus. The University appeared on the ranking (formerly named “Alternative lifestyle not an alternative”) for five consecutive years from 2000 to 2005, ranking second, second, fifth, 14th, and fifth, respectively. The University was absent from the list starting in 2006 until its recent reappearance.
