Politically active campuses?

College Search & Selection

<p>I'm transferring from community college next fall and intend to major in economics. I really want to fit in at the college I go to, so I'd like to know about colleges with a really active political environment.</p>

<p>So far I'm looking at Northwestern, James Madison College at Michigan State, and Bowdoin. I can't afford anything over about $30,000 dollars, so unfortunately American University is out of my reach. Any other ones I'm overlooking?</p>

<p>Berkeley, if you're a CA resident....</p>

<p>Can't, I won't be a junior. Anything else?</p>

4

<p>Check out Macalester College in St. Paul, MN. Very politically active community.</p>

<p>University of Oregon looks interesting, but the CC board is pretty much dead. Anyone know anything about it?</p>

7

<p>I wouldn't go there. Not a very good school.</p>

<p>Why is it not a very good school? 108th in the country seems quite good to me, and I'm basing my undergrad choice mostly on campus environment, not ranking.</p>

<p>LogicWarrior, a large number of people from my high school get into Oregon. A large number of them also transferred or ended up going to our junior college, hoping to transfer later to Berkeley.</p>

<p>What they told me was that people at University of Oregon didn't really care about anything else but partying.</p>

<p>I have no firsthand experience, but it doesn't seem like a good school to me.</p>
