Southern Schools in Liberal Towns?

<p>

</p>

<p>It’s improper forum etiquette to make off topic posts in someone else’s thread so this discussion will continue through private messages. Sorry OP.</p>

<p>Ok. You absolutely can NOT make a list of worst presidents without James Buchanan. When you leave office with fewer states than you went in with…that’s just terrible.</p>

<p>Anyway, for the OP, I 123748193472189417248th UNC-Chapel Hill.</p>

<p>Ut. Ou. Lsu. Gt. Uk. Unc. Usc.</p>

<p>Ehh, I wouldn’t really call Baton Rouge liberal, but I don’t live in LA, and have only been to the LSU once. Been downstate a few times, and besides New Orleans, especially the French Quarter, it was very conservative.</p>

<p>

…you’re kidding?</p>

<p>Columbia is way liberal. Especially compared to towns like College Station, Oxford (MS), Tuscaloosa, Clemson, etc etc…</p>

<p>

While liberal by SC standards, I would hesitate to call Columbia “way liberal.” It’s not at the level of Chapel Hill or Charlottesville, or even Gainesville or Asheville.</p>

<p>I suppose U Miami could possibly be added to the list of suggestions.</p>

<p>umm is Athens Liberal?</p>

<p>Florida State University in Tallahassee, the capital of Florida.</p>

<p>Gekko, you did not just put F. Roosevelt on a worst president list! MMMMM NO!</p>

<p>From the top of my head, schools that come to thought are:
University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill, University of Texas- Austin, Florida State University, North Carolina State University, University of Florida, New College of Florida, University of Virginia, University of Alabama, Emory University, University of Georgia, </p>

<p>Though base off my reading it seems like many would agree otherwise with my list. I can’t say any of this is correct since I live in the midwest.</p>

<p>What do you mean by liberal? Politically diverse? Socially and sexually tolerant? Thriving art, music and food scene? Open to ideas? Fairly tolerant of student drinking? </p>

<p>Probably most colleges and universities in urban areas would satisfy this description, especially if there is a good representation of students from the more liberal areas of the northeast- ny, new jersey, boston etc.</p>

<p>That would include Emory, UNC, Duke, Tulane, UT Austin, UNC-Asheville, New College to name a few</p>

<p>Some southern schools though are very traditionally “southern” especially when it comes to greek life. </p>

<p>That might include Emory, UF, FSU, Vanderbilt, UVA…</p>

<p>And others are so rooted in historic tradition, they feel somewhat provincial.</p>

<p>That might include William and Mary and probably a lot of the smaller schools</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Thats definitely not true here. I live in a small college town that is conservative. I guess it has to do with the faculty being from that area.</p>

<p>blairb91, check your PMs.</p>

<p>Emory is certainly not “very traditionally “southern” especially when it comes to greek life.” In fact, that is the opposite of true. Atlanta itself is not a ‘southern’ city. There is a sizable Greek Life but it neither dominates the campus nor is very southern in its make-up.</p>
