Santa Clara University vs. University of Puget Sound

I have been accepted to both Santa Clara University and University of Puget Sound. I am planning on majoring in vocal performance and am very interested in musical theater as well as history and political science. I’ve visited both schools and liked them pretty equally. I am very torn between the two schools and would love some help making my final decision!

This may not be worth much, but I’m just throw it out there. My niece graduated from UPS two years ago and LOVED it. She majored in English, and is very successful now working in the Bay Area in tech… But I asked her about UPS for my son, and she warned us that it is VERY liberal. And she is very liberal, but said it could be even too liberal for her now. That’s just one person’s opinion, but something of which to be mindful. Santa Clara is probably a lot more moderate…liberal in terms of social justice, but perhaps conservative in other respects. Oh, now, all of that said, she also said that no matter your politics, a person can usually find their people on campus.
