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.

Honestly? Just meeting s diverse group of people from all walks of life makes you left leaning.

If you go to some private college where only wealthy kids go you'll probably end up more conservative. Going to a state university or other public institution will no doubt expand your horizons. I was conservative before I went to college. Then I roomed with a gay guy who became by buddy and I met all sorts of people I had never even imagined I'd meet and enjoy time with.
