What are these cities like?

Hello r/gay, I'm currently a senior and am trying to choose between colleges to attend next year. One aspect I'm taking into account is how LGBT friendly the cities the schools are in are as well as how active the younger community is in these cities. As of right now I am leaning more towards the school in Minneapolis Minnesota. I am mainly attracted to this school because it is in a city that might have something of a gay community while my town of less than 1000 people has nothing. Any thoughts on Minneapolis would be greatly appreciated.
