Abstract
This study examines the relationships between living arrangements and educational outcomes, access to LGBTQ-affirming care, sexual and gender minority (SGM) stressors, and mental health. Bivariate analyses were implemented to examine relationships between living arrangements and academic outcomes, SGM stressors, access to care, and alcohol and substance use. Differences between undergraduate and graduate students are reported. Students who continued living on campus were less likely to report increased family rejection, transphobia, and identity concealment.
