<p>as the previous thread was about the surrounding community.. maybe some of you can help me out on what the students in oxy are like. =)</p>

<p>i get the feeling that there are a lot of intellectual writer types there.. and i'm pretty sure that the school (being politically active) is also more on the liberal side.</p>

<p>how true is that do you think? i really liked the school to begin with but now my interest has waned.. the total enrollment size of 1800 seems a bit small to me, and eagle rock didn't capture my interest very well when i visited.</p>

<p>occidental's a good school academically, there is a strong focus on writing and i believe the study abroad program is good. but are the students happy there? or can all the on-campus activities get a bit stifling at times?</p>

<p>lots of thanks for the help!</p>

<p>It is very liberal. As I recall on princetonreview a student said on her review, "God help you if you are republican." The freshman class is supposed to be around 430. Also, the study abroad program isn't that good. I was really into Oxy too but now it is waning.</p>
