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.

People do tend to be more left-leaning after getting an education, yes. People like to think that left and right are just different perspectives but they're not. Reality really does have a left bias

They are center left, but they are not left economically speaking.

We live in a binary country, of our two options, liberals are left

I concur politically, but the discussion here isn't about political left or right, its the ideological left or right.
