<p>Is Amherst liberal or conservative?</p>
<p>pretty liberal, although with a small conservative presence in the student body. The faculty is also quite liberal, with only one really conservative professor.</p>
<p>As far as liberalism goes, I'd say we're pretty high on the "enemies of the state" list. This is because we are exclusively a school of pinko communists.</p>
<p>But in all seriousness, I think there is maybe one conservative professor, which is actually pretty good considering. I've run into a fair share of conservative students around, but my criteria for labeling someone a conservative aren't very strict. This is because everyone is a capitalist oppressor of the people.</p>
