<p>Overall, do students tend to care about and involve themselves in current political issues? I want to go to a school with that kind of atmosphere, where students care about life off of campus as well.</p>
<p>Hi JHCgirl,</p>
<p>Vermont is an incredible state, with loads of political activism. Burlington and UVM are places that will feed your political soul. Students care alot about environmental issues and it’s a left leaning campus. Howard Dean spoke at the commencement in 2008. It’s a great state to know about/ be immersed in. Plus there’s a happy vibe there - it’s a great place.</p>
<p>Sounds great, thank you!</p>
