What are some colleges with a liberal atmosphere? Not conservative

<p>Pinnum - you can look up efforts the state legislature made to limit voting in college towns, with special emphasis on Chapel Hill. Despite the 1979 Supreme Court ruling that college students may vote where they attend school, the NC state government attempted to pass statutes that would have made it more difficult for out-of-state students to vote in NC. They have just reduced the number of polling places surrounding UNC and other campuses. I think many members of the UNC community have been involved with the “Moral Mondays” movement. This article provides some basic context: <a href=“Moral Mondays - Wikipedia”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_Mondays&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Btw, Google “social justice” college programs to sniff out liberal schools. </p>

<p>Did the GOP dig up the “paper courses” at UNC-CH?</p>

<p>I don’t think of K-zoo as particularly liberal (except maybe in context of the community around it). I mean compared to other LACs. There are many I would put on the more liberal end of the spectrum than that.</p>

<p>Most people of traditional college student age tend to be left leaning compared to the general population on social issues (e.g. gay marriage). However, this is likely less true on other issues (fiscal, economic, foreign policy).</p>

<p>So the answer depends on what you mean by “liberal”.</p>

<p>It would be a lot easier to ask which colleges are conservative, and then rule those out. I agree that the great majority of colleges would be considered liberal when compared against the politics of the general population, but that doesn’t mean that political indoctrination, protests, boycotts, and storming the administration building are the norm.</p>

<p>Even “conservative” colleges, like Georgetown and Notre Dame, tend to have students that hover slightly left of center. There are very few universities that are truly conservative. </p>

<p>It’ll be like finding hay in a hay stack. Good luck!</p>

<p>Are you asking about liberal faculty, or liberal students, or both? Centre College, in Kentucky, has a relatively liberal faculty but more conservative students. This is not at all rare. Miami University of Ohio is similar.</p>

<p>On the assumption that you would like both faculty and students to be liberal, I suggest you look at Ohio Wesleyan University, Earlham College, and University of Puget Sound. Those are all small LAC’s. If you want larger schools, then it is hard to make a mistake, especially outside the South. Most of the conservative colleges are in the South, or they are very small (less than 1,000 students). The chance of accidentally finding yourself at a conservative college is slim. It is a lot easier to find a liberal college than a conservative one.</p>
