<p>i'm pretty sure umich and ucberkeley are pretty liberal but i'm sure about the other ones. any response is appreciated!</p>
<p>Columbia, NYU, UMich, Berkeley=VERY liberal
The rest, not so much.</p>
<p>I would say NYU is apathetic.</p>
<p>Depends, how uptight are you? :)</p>
<p>What happened to choosing a school based on the quality of the educational program? Oh wait, nevermind, everything is 'liberal/conservative' now. Yellowstone better blow soon, it's getting unbearable.</p>
<p>First off, keep in mind that I generally think the whole liberal/conservative thing is overblown. But...</p>
<p>I know plenty of conservative people who went to Cal and had a really good experience. The general consensus is that the conservative student support base is quite good. Of course, my idea of "conservative" is more "libertarian," so YMMV.</p>
<p>In general, don't worry much about the "right/left" slant of an entire school. You'll really drive yourself nuts. Worry about the quality of education and MAYBE the student groups that are sympathetic to your interests.</p>
<p>But really, if you're conservative in the more contemporary sense (e.g. Moral Majority conservative), then you're in for a wild ride at most schools anyway...</p>
<p>personally i'm liberal, not liberal to the extreme but decently liberal. my intent really wasn't about choosing a school based on its political viewing, i was just plain curious. thanks for the responses tho.</p>
<p>NYU is socially liberal</p>
<p>UChicago is a bit more libertarian. They're generally seen as liberal on social issues, but a tad more conservative in economic issues.... they are considered to be the birthplace of alot of modern economic thought.</p>
