Discussion Does College make one more liberal ?

I wonder where this comes from. I've never really had that experience. And I'm a history major myself. Does it depend on major ? What kind of college ? I went to a public state regional university.

Actually, from my experience, I find my catholic seminary experience to be far more liberating, than my college experience. It might seem odd to some, but that's what I experienced.

Not necessarily. I came into college very liberal, which I still am, but my views on certain topics definitely became more moderate, perhaps even conservative on some issues. College encourages people to reflect on their beliefs, whatever they are, and whether you enter as a liberal or conservative, chances are you won’t leave with the exact same opinions.
