<p>Yeah...it's probably what you mentioned in the other thread...Dartmouth's reputation from a few decades ago continues to haunt it.</p>
<p>Texas A&M, haha i'm joking!</p>
<p>Hampshire. Definitely Hampshire.</p>
<p>I don't know enough to pick two others, but I have a friend at Hampshire right now.</p>
<p>Cornell's in an extremely liberal town too, I guess.</p>
<p>NJPitcher-
So how do you opt out of reading the jokes until after you've read them??? :)
Seriously people, can we puleez move on?? My original comment, made several weeks ago, was to someone who was relatively new to the forum. His "joke" initially caused me to take a double-take. I of course realized he was kidding, but some unsuspecting person might not have. Most folks, when they use humor here, say that they are kidding (like English 05 above) or put a :) . Another person made such an inappropriate comment here that his response was deleted by the moderator (which is why some stuff sounds out of sequence) and that person appears to have been removed from CC. On many listservs and forums people either stay with the issue at hand or make it clear when their response is off topic or is humor. But in fairness, most of these forums are with adults and professionals, and aren't shared by HS'ers anxiously sweating out their college apps. I don't mean that as a slight- I mean that sincerely-- many of you do need an outlet to vent your angst. Not a problem. I am merely suggesting that if that is done here, and in the form of sarcasm, just say so.</p>

<p>why do you continue to write long, drawn out responses to something as trifling as this? please stop posting. it's not something your brain cells should be put to use for. you are accomplishing nothing except to look like a very sensitive person.</p>
<p>ps - you place such emphasis on 'wasted time' that it is increasingly hilarious that you are the one spending the most time on the subject.</p>
<p>oh yeah. another thing.</p>
<p>you talk about 'moving on' but you yourself just posted TWO WEEKS after your last response. you're the one not 'moving on' here, and are fanning the flames against yourself. </p>
<p>and you speak about 'venting' - let's see, as your posts are the most numerous, and the longest, in the context of this little sub-argument, you are the #1 venter here it would seem.</p>
<p>holy crap you're like a living contradiction!!!</p>
<p>also, this image macro has never been more appropiate: <a href="http://www.ejacqui.com/images/bush/internets_first.jpg%5B/url%5D">http://www.ejacqui.com/images/bush/internets_first.jpg</a></p>
<p>everyone says berkley is liberal but its really not. i can personally tell you that the university of california schools arnt that liberal. anyone who tells you uc berkeley is liberal is living in the past. its a normal school. the city of berkeley how ever is liberal.</p>
<p>Here are some really liberal schools:</p>
<p>Ivies:
Brown, Cornell and now I hear Dartmouth</p>
<p>Other Elite Research universities:
Chicago
Stanford</p>
<p>Public schools:
Cal-Berkeley
Michigan-Ann Arbor
Texas-Austin
Wisconsin-Madison</p>
<p>LACs:
Amherst
Bowdoin
Middlebury
Oberlin
Reed
Wesleyan</p>
<p>Swarthmore!</p>
<p>Submerged-
I was responding to xanatos's note of 12/22. Let it go.</p>
<p>You regard Stanford and Chicago as liberal schools??? I would rather say libertarian, which is a quite different thing!</p>
<p>Yeah, make me the villain...</p>
<p>I think nearly every LAC is really liberal.</p>
<p>A liberal political climate was one of my top factors in choosing a college too. It seems like there are many colleges with a few genuine leftist activists, but very few with truly engaged student bodies. In my experience, Bennington is very liberal, but unfortunately seems hostile to conservative viewpoints. When I was there for an overnight, I heard something about a conservative's car being keyed. Whether it was because of their beliefs or because they were a jerk, I don't know. The University of Vermont is also quite liberal, although the College Republicans club is stronger than it used to be. There's more of a dialogue there, at least from my outsider's perspective. Columbia University and the former Seven Sisters' all seem quite liberal (Smith, Mt.Holyoke, Wellesley, Bryn Mawr, Vassar, & Barnard). Any of the so-called "unconventional schools" (Sarah Lawrence, Hampshire, New College of FL, Reed, Oberlin, Evergreen State, Bard, Warren Wilson) also have very leftist political climates. Good luck in your search.</p>
<p>Sarah</p>
<p>jaymantrucker-- HSC is more Right than left; well left teachers but Right students.</p>
<p>Alexandre: Chicago and Stanford? I respectfully disagree. Too many 'W' bumper stickers on Beemers down on the Farm.</p>
<p>OP:</p>
<p>Berkely still has a liberal bent (away from the sciences). However, one of the the largest student groups on campus (and growing) is the Young Republican Club, so the school is becoming more balanced.</p>
<p>As croberts notes, the City of Berkeley would be left of any other city in the country; they think the Santa Monica City council is composed of a bunch of right-wingers. :)</p>
<p>The SEC has a number of schools with right-leaning student bodies that haven't been mentioned so far: Ole Miss, Auburn, Bama, etc.</p>
<p>In no particular order...</p>
<p>Marlboro College
Hampshire
Reed
Oberlin
New College
Bard
Sarah Lawrence
Wesleyan
Bennington
Smith</p>
<p>and most other LACs...</p>
<p>hah, i'm a liberal and even i second that.</p>
<p>U Chicago is only liberal until you reach the econ dept.</p>
