<p>Liberal is not a bad thing because inherently it also means tolerant of other peoples’ beliefs.</p>
<p>It would not be hard to be the most liberal school in the south because most truly “southern” schools like South Carolina, Mississippi,Alabama tend to still have students there who have not yet accepted the fact that the Civil War is over and the South lost. </p>
<p>My D is a sophomore at South Carolina so I can say this with authority, the old South still lives in South Carolina and many other more "southern " schools. </p>
<p>UNC has several active organizations supporting gay rights for example…the demonstrations/parades like those held on campus by these groups at UNC would simply not be tolerated or even allowed at other southern schools This is just one example that quickly comes to mind. </p>
<p>You might be better served asking current UNC students their opinions on this since I can only echo what I hear from my S and D.</p>
