<p>Do you mean "politically correct" or "politically active" or "political" in the sense that success or admission depends on something other than merit?</p>
<p>Whoa, that was a really poorly worded question. It could also mean "in the centre of the political spectrum."</p>
<p>I think he meant most politic-oriented in that the students actively participate in political stuff of sorts.</p>
<p>i think he means closest to 50% dem 50% rep</p>
<p>For the purposes of this discussion, "politically centered" means the most balanced in political ideology, eg. democrats V. republicans or liberals v. conservatives.
Which IVY is closest to the center of these competing ideologies?</p>
<p>probably princeton, which is viewed as conservative because it isnt overwhemingly liberal. the campus is still more democrat than republican, but at least you get to hear the other side...</p>
<p>Cornell also has a balance...lots of engineers and aggies (maybe the engineer aggie thing is a stereotype but nevertheless Republicans and Conservatives will find numerous like-minded thinkers at Cornell). I had thought Dartmouth too had a balance but maybe that is just because of their prominent conservative campus newspaper.</p>
<p>I would say Penn, Dartmouth, Cornell, and Princeton are all about 75-80% liberal with a vocal conservative presence. Brown, Columbia, Harvard, and Yale are about 85-95% liberal with a very little conservative contingent.</p>
<p>For the most part, they're all relatively centrist (except Brown). Moreso than other universities, at least.</p>
