DescriptionThere are more out queer undergraduate students stepping foot onto colleges campuses across the nation than ever before (D’Augelli & Hershberger, 1993; Grov, Bimbi, Nanin, & Parsons, 2006; PFLAG, 2001; Sanlo, 2005). Although the college experience is designed to be a time of great challenge and development resulting in considerable reward, queer students are working towards this reward with added complexity. The importance of visible and easily accessible support networks is heightened as queer students are feeling isolated and alone on college campuses. Campus climate statistics have gone a long way in describing the chilly campus environments queer students face (Rankin, 2003). However, there is not as much information about specific institutional support strategies designed to support and provide awareness about the queer community. Special interest housing communities are one such strategy. This qualitative case study examined the experiences and perceptions of queer students living in a queer focused special interest housing community at a large research extensive university in the northeast United States. The purpose of this study is to provide real voices and stories to campus climate statistics and to inform the practice of student affairs professionals.
