My D has zero problems being a liberal atheist at Utah and loves it there (we are from CA). She has an amazing outdoor life with skiing every weekend in the winter and backpacking, climbing etc in the fall and spring. She went back this summer to work and enjoy the weekends in the mountains with her friends. “Theoretically” is a good description of the “dry campus” concept, though it is really not a party school (other than the usual events around football games) because everyone is out in the mountains at weekends.
