When my (very urbanized) son & I arrived early one a.m. for our tour of Hampshire, he looked at me crossly and asked, “Dad, why are we here?<br>
It’s a barn. In a field.” </p>
<p>After the tour, he matter-of-factly said, “I could see myself coming here.”</p>

Point well-taken.</p>
<p>This northeastern liberal would happily support his rabid liberal, late-blooming, B-/1830 son attending any school with an academic bent where he wouldn’t be
a fish out of water, politically speaking. And can study biology/environmental science and international relations.</p>
<p>Absent a visit, can folks speak to how one might assess the political leaning of a school’s student body ? From an educational perspective, I suppose that 50/50 might well be close to ideal, as cross-pollination of ideas is good. But as long as liberals don’t become an underrepresented minority, I suspect my boy would be fine. He’s tough.</p>
