Cleveland State University is nationally ranked among the 2016 Top 20 Great Value Colleges with Safe Spaces.

This designation recognizes CSU for providing inclusive areas on campus where students of any race, gender, sexuality, class and ability can find compassion and empathy, free of the pressures of prejudice.

In particular, CSU was lauded for its Safe Space Program (which seeks to improve visibility and support to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered and questioning [LGBTQ] students) and the Mother’s Room run by the Mareyjoyce Green Women’s Center (which provides a safe and secure area for nursing mothers).

The rankings were compiled by Great Value Colleges, a website dedicated to helping students search for higher education institutions that best suit their needs in the areas of academics, cost, size, location and personal interests and goals. Click here to view the complete list.
