My school (Kent State) has a decently active LGBT and Allies club called Pride!Kent. The university itself is getting better as far as acceptance goes... we now have Faculty Senate, Graduate Student Senate, and Undergraduate Student Senate behind Pride! for pushing the school to offer domestic partner benefits. And we had Margaret Cho come to the school! But it's nowhere near perfect... there's almost nil as far as bisexual community goes. Here it feels like I'm too gay for the straight people and too straight for the gay people; people in Pride! would gladly talk to me while assuming I was a lesbian, but when I told them I was actually bi, they seemed to cool a little and find someone else to talk to. We've also had a few incidents of people being atacked on campus, which is why Pride! is stepping up on pushing for more security, more lighting, and more emergency phones around campus.
But all in all, it's a decent program. Oh, and there's also a side program Pride! does called Safe Zone, which educates faculty, staff, and Residence Hall workers about issues LGBT students have and how to help them, and also offers 'Safe Zone' signs for supportive workers and faculty to post so that students know where to go.
