If you identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, you may have concerns going into college. Will you be safe on campus? Will there be allies to help you? Will you feel included in dorms and student organizations?

At these colleges, the answer to all of those questions is yes.

The Princeton Review released Monday its annual lists of the best colleges and universities in the United States, and one of the rankings it published centered around the most LGBT-friendly schools. Sarah Lawrence College was named No. 1.

The list, which was calculated with responses from more than 140,000 students, differs a bit from others on the same topic. Campus Pride, for example, awards the LGBT-friendly title to schools like Cornell University, Elon University, Ithaca College and Macalester College — none of which were on the Princeton Review's list.

Take a look for yourself at the Princeton Review's top 10:

Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York
College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, Maine
Warren Wilson College in Asheville, North Carolina
University of Wisconsin in Madison, Wisconsin
Stanford University in Stanford, California
Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa
Emerson College in Boston
College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia
Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts
Brown University in Providence

The Princeton Review also calculated the reverse, looking at institutions that aren't so friendly to LGBT students. The central question asked was "Do students, faculty and administrators treat all persons equally, regardless of their sexual orientation and gender identity/expression?"
