UBC is an interesting one - I would say the student body is leaning towards socialist, however the administration is quite conservative, and there a lot of international students that add to the conservative side. I would say overall it is a very liberal campus - there's a good Canadian-Liberal answer ;)

Undergrad: Very Liberal.
Grad: Liberal, although it has a much more liberal history.

Pretty liberal.

Apathetic.

A few really intense liberals that try and push their views on everyone else, especially through the student newspaper and student organizations, but for the most part no one pays them any mind. In fact....I would say that pretty much no one on this campus pays attention to much of what is going on...

The biggest gathering I've ever seen in the three years I've been here was an anti-war/anti-taco bell protest. Something about not wanting our soldiers to pick tomatoes in Flordia for a dollar a day...:rolleyes: I think the protestors got confused on the issues.

I'd say it's pretty moderate to mildly liberal.

Moderate, tad to the left.

Most students are apathetic conservatives but there is a strong liberal presence on campus.

Definitely conservative! Hello!! It's in the Bible Belt!

Liberal

I'd say apathetic/moderate.

There's obviously some pretty liberal kids, and it shows when IVCF tries to appeal to them by advertising talks about PORN and HOW TO HAVE SEX. But at the same time, a lot of the kids are pretty conservative. Mostly, no one gives a crap.

Although the university President is hardcore Republican.

Wake Forest is Pretty conservative--for the past four years in a row the commencement speaker has been a prominent Republican Politician/Supportor (Barbara Bush, John McCain, Michael Bloomburg, this year Colin Powell). Its kind of hard because most liberal ideas here are labeled as unAmerican or treated as some infectous diease...

Washington and Lee
 
is annually rated one of the most conservative schools in the nation. We received an award last year from the Republican Party for having the largest per capital Young Republican club--60% of the student body belongs to Young Republicans; it's the largest organization on campus.

That said, I'm an unabashedly progressive femi-nazi. :D There is a large and vocal liberal minority here due to the political inclinations of many students. And the professors are mostly all liberals.

phigamucsb 02-25-2004 11:16 PM

the professors at your school are liberal, na get outta here.

Rio=Conservative. *blah*

Student body: Apathetic with strong polarizing arch-conservative and arch-liberal forces. But the student papers are run by liberals so liberal views are seen the most while the conservatives get tarred by the College Republowicans rather out there and sometimes racist views. I'm personally a moderate conservative so I get it from both sides.

Professors: Very extreme liberal

Administration: Moderate Liberal
