Rainbow House : Special Interest Housing for Queer and Ally Students : 160 Hillside Apartments, Tufts University Queer Since 1998
>>  Our Mission
The Rainbow House exists to provide a safe and welcoming space for all gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) students and their allies, and to serve as a bridge between LGBT students and the entire Tufts community.  The rainbow is an LGBT symbol representing the diversity of our community, and we chose it as the symbol of our house to represent the variety of people we are in gender, race, ethnicity, religious belief and, of course, sexual orientation.  

Rainbow House residents are dedicated to the values of safety, acceptance, and diversity outlined above.  While the house provides a space for its residents to live and study in a queer-friendly atmosphere, Rainbow House residents in turn open up the house periodically to the rest of the Tufts community in order to provide safe and friendly social events for all, but particularly for other LGBT students.   The Rainbow House strives to be a model of living in diversity and helps educate all of Tufts about the value of ending homophobia, transphobia, and other forms of bias and discrimination.
