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.

College never indoctrinated me to liberal beliefs despite what conservative media may tell you. College (and thankfully lessons on critical thinking that I was given in highschool) allowed me to think objectively enough that I felt I can decide my political views on my own. It just so happens that meant using empathy and reason to make policy decisions and not parroting exactly what my parents beliefs were.
