Abstract
As the conversation on sexuality continues to evolve, scholarship around college students and sexual orientation must also advance in higher education research. This study expands on previous research by utilizing a large-scale sample of students that explores the satisfaction, engagement, quality of relationships, and perceptions of campus support that gay, lesbian, bisexual, and questioning (GLBQ) students experience in college. While preliminary results show similar levels of engagement between GLBQ and heterosexual students, several differences stand out. For example, GLBQ students did noticeably more reflective and integrative learning in their coursework, but they had lesser quality interactions with their peers and felt that their institution did not support them as strongly in their non-academic responsibilities.
