<p>"What does "liberal" mean? As in college guide definition? Is liberal the opposite of preppy?"</p>
<p>The OP asked about , "very very...politically liberal...LACs..."</p>
<p>kenyon
davidson
washington and lee
holy cross
vmi?</p>
<p>W&L no way...</p>
<p>Collegeprep, W&L and Holy Cross are conservative. Davidson is middle of the road. I am not sure about VMI. The only school on your list that is liberal is Kenyon.</p>
<p>Mythmom, I think Williams is socially liberal but politically and fiscally middle of the road. Same with Amherst.</p>
<p>Bard for sure. It is an amazing school.</p>
