<p>I hear horror stories of conservative thinking students enrolling in liberal arts programs in new england schools only to be ostracized by the mostly liberal student body and to be subjected to unfair grading if they disagree with the LIBERAL(even marxist) teaching of the majority of the professors. It seems Science and Math majors are exempt from this since their majors are more quantitative than qualitative ..</p>
<p>I really love UCONN but am concerned about these horror stories.... </p>
These stories generally stem from students getting mad about not getting the grade they want. Students will criticize anything about a professor to make an excuse for getting a bad grade. To say that most professors are Marxist is pretty funny. Almost every college will have liberals, conservatives, libertarians, socialists, you name it. I do not believe there are any majority socialist campuses, though. Most college campuses lean liberal nowadays, but there are generally large conservative groups on campus.</p>
<p>I am a UConn student and I can tell you for a fact that this school is not crazy liberal (or conservative, for that matter). None of the profs. i’ve had have ever expouted Marxist theories. on the whole i’d say the profs. tend to be liberal to moderate and the student body on the whole to be very split down the middle, very moderate on the whole, but politics never seems to be a “hot” issue here on campus</p>
