OP, are you from Virginia?  I am from another state and I find that none of the[b] VA state schools are as liberal as the ones from my home state[/b]---small town or not.  There is just a more "traditional" culture here.  But, as another poster stated, you can probably find a range of students at these schools.

Did you ever read [i]The Last Lecture[/i] by Randy Pausch.  I always wondered why he left UVA to go to Carnegie Mellon.  He never stated it, but I surmise that his ideas were too "different" for UVA.  He just seems like the kind of professor a school should try to keep.  They lost another good professor to a previous attorney general's attempts to get rid of climate science (Ken Cuccinelli).  These are the kinds of things that make me wonder about UVA (among others).

That is definitely true for GMU's econ department.  It is funded by Koch Industries.  They are frequently tapped for the "conservative" view on NPR and other media. [/quote]
