That’s a lot of description about campuses in general based upon one anecdote
As a counter anecdote, a small campus I worked at in rural Pacific Northwest, a liberal bastion right?
This campus was swarming with traditional values students who want to strike down gay marriage and cut all taxes
And I found them much less open to being reasoned with than extreme liberals who think nation states are social constructs (since they don’t exist in physics, they kind of are human social constructs? Not judging them, just pointing out a potential point of reference for viewing them that seems valid)
