I am a future political science major narrowing my college list and wondering what the political/social atmospheres are at the upper end liberal arts school. I am looking for a school that is not too extreme left or right!! Any information about the atmospheres of the top liberal arts school is appreciated!
The NESCAC schools other than Wesleyan are pretty balanced. Colgate and Lafayette more conservative, Washington & Lee even more so.
Holy Cross is fairly socially conservative, but on economic issues liberal.
Oberlin is considered liberal like Wesleyan.
Just beware of the outliers.
Dickinson is pretty middle of the road. Rhodes leans a little more right, but not too much.
Holy Cross in Massachusetts would be a great option.
Hamilton more liberal than Colgate, but less so than Wesleyan.
Swarthmore very liberal.
