A common but incorrect stereotype. As I noted in post #6, the numbers of conservatives at many of the top colleges are greatly exaggerated on CC. An active Republicans club does not a conservative college make!
In 2015, the political affiliations of CMC freshmen were as follows:
45% Liberal
35% Moderate
15% Conservative
4% Far left
1% Far right
The political leanings of CMC freshmen and seniors are virtually identical to those of peer schools (“Private/Nonsectarian 4 year Colleges-very high selectivity”). Indeed, CMC actually has a higher than average percentage of seniors identifying as liberal.
