[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am from the heartland. For a coastal kid who is a Democrat, it is not appealing to go to a restrictive red state.[/quote]

It isn't a heartland/coastal thing.  California has MAGA areas as well as liberal ones, as does Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, Massachusetts, Illinois . . . you get the idea.

Important to know to avoid being surprised when you send your kid to a school in a MAGA region within a liberal state by accident.

But there is no college in central valley California.  Even organge county college campus is blue as it can be.[/quote]

Cal Poly San Luis Obispo is well respected particularly for engineering and architecture and it is by far the hardest cal state to get into. It is in a maga area plus it is big in agriculture studies and attracts many maga rural students. For public universities in CA it is probably the whitest and one of the more conservative (as far as CA goes) schools. [/quote]

This is pretty accurate.  We visited and we were shocked at the lack of diversity for a CSU even though I had seen the numbers.  During the presentation for parents and students before the tour, they actually showed a slide of a hip hop club with all white and Asian kids. The kids are also relatively wealthy, consistent with these fields of study.  I wouldn't say that the city of San Luis Obispo is MAGA, like the nearby Central Valley and Salinas Valley, it is more of a socially liberal upper middle class coastal city, more like Monterey than say, Newport Beach.
