@starmaker, Thanks! That's helpful.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to get a sense of the LGBTQ scene for grad students in the Cambridge/Boston area. I've heard that the area iis very gay-friendly, but I have a few concerns. For instance, what opportunities does the city provide to meet gay people in the 20s outside of clubs and bars? I recently received admits from Harvard and MIT and I'm considering them seriously. How active are the queer grad student groups in these schools - what kind of activities do they have and how often? I tried checking their websites, but they seem to be out of date. I also have offers from schools in the bay area, so I'm trying to compare it with Cambridge in terms of grad life for a queer student. I'm an international student and I haven't stayed in both these parts of the US for long, but I get the vibe and I also heard that the gay scene in San Francisco is more easy-going than in Boston where it is a little more cliquey. Would it be easier to build a circle of gay friends in one place over the other? I'd really appreciate advice/information of any sort. Thanks in advance!
