<p>Is anyone familiar with any politically moderate universities that aren't flaming leftist in Norcal? And if you can, please narrow it down to biology oriented universities, in case I major in genetics. What about UC Davis?</p>
<p>First, define “politically moderate” – do you mean apolitical? do you mean Republican? </p>
<p>UC Davis, like all University of California, tends to attracts liberal and progressive students. That doesn’t mean you won’t Republican groups there.</p>
<p>In general, northern California tends to be liberal, just like parts of, say, the South tend to be conservative. That’s just the culture of the place. If you want to study in California, you’ll have more luck in southern California: University of the Redlands and Pepperdine may be more in line with what you’re looking for.</p>
<p>You answered your own question you asked me. Northern California is unfortunately infected by radical liberalism. Considering this is CA, the public mainstream universities tend to more than likely politicized. While private college tend to be independent.</p>
<p>“Radical liberalism” is an oxymoron.
But to address your question (sorta):
check out Thomas Aquinas College. It is in the LA area (not Northern California), and I can’t vouch for its biology program, but you might find it very interesting nevertheless.</p>
<p>“Northern California is unfortunately infected by radical liberalism”
– sounds like you don’t need a moderate atmosphere/university, but a downright conservative one. </p>
<p>“Considering this is CA” – this is a nationwide phenomenon: universities tend to be liberal in general</p>
<p>“While private college tend to be independent.”
– that’s factually untrue. Although RELIGIOUS schools may tend to be less left-leaning.</p>
<p>“Radical liberalism” is an oxymoron"</p>
<p>This coming from someone that never went to a public bay area school, SF police department, or city council meeting in the day of life where I live. I can tell you after living 18 years of life here, that the degree of liberalism has different geographic shifts in Nor Cal. The bay has become a thriving home base and heavily influenced by the educated radical leftist environmentalists from the east coast that control most of the circles of power and use mind games with the children in a yearly age. You can even expect close races between Ed Gein and an experienced GOP candidate here from all gerrymandered democratic districts.</p>
<p>Why are you limiting your search to Northern California?
You will have many more options if you expand a little geographically.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Er, it’s not. Maybe in NorCal it’s an oxymoron. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Based on what I’ve heard about Thomas Aquinas College, it shouldn’t be moderate, more like really conservative. </p>
<p>Honestly OP, if you are a CA resident and dislike left wing agenda I don’t see why you are intent on staying in NorCal. Try some UCs down south more which will still be liberal but less so than Berkeley, and the Claremont Colleges.</p>
<p>tk21769 is correct. Liberals believe in capitalism; even Obamacare is a gerrymandered attempt to work within the capitalist system. A radical would have just nationalized the insurance companies entirely. If telling somebody that they have to wear a seatbelt or buy car insurance in order to drive is radical then I guess, an awful lot of us are “radicals”.</p>
