OP, are you from Virginia?  I am from another state and I find that none of the VA state schools are as liberal as the ones from my home state---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).

In addition from the article you linked: "The institute filed FOIA requests with UVa and sued when those emails were denied or not delivered, even after the institute put up a deposit to pay for the records as requested by UVa."

So, crazy anti climate change politician demands email, UVA refuses to give them even when sued and brought to court.  How does this paint UVA in a bad light?
