The Political Jungle

Yeah right.

"People will try to argue it isn't true, but look at this fact reported today in the Yale Daily News: By checking the records of the Federal Election Commission, reporters determined that Yale faculty donated to Democrats more often than to Republicans by a margin of 45-1.

That is literally $45,000 in donations to Democrats versus $1,000 in donations to Republicans."

Nope no bias there.

According to the Princeton Review, here are the top 10:
1. Mills College (Oakland, California)
A pervasive opinion of Mills students is that if you aren't a leftist-socialist-Nader voter or at least one of leftist leanings, you are often dismissed as someone of no consequence and possibly a "racist, classist, elitist" by the student body.

2. Bard College (Annandale-on-Hudson, New York)
When conservatives complain about PC campuses and ultraliberal students, they might well be specifically describing Bard. It's the kind of place where students tell you that "we are more concerned with the terrorism for which our government is responsible than the terrorism that targets the United States," and mean it.
Students who considered Bard also looked at Bennington College, Colgate University, Skidmore College, and Vassar College.

3. New College of Florida (Sarasota, Florida)

4. Hampshire College (Amherst, Massachusetts)
Politically, "Hampshire students are ultra-liberal. While many would claim that we are an open-minded community because all kinds of lifestyles and ethnic groups are accepted, just try bringing in a conservative speaker to campus and students will be there quicker than the lifespan of a Hollywood marriage to protest, disrupt, and cause mayhem." Students are proud to report that Hampshire is extremely GLBT-friendly.
Students who considered Hampshire also looked at Amherst College, Clark University, Emerson College, and Oberlin College.

5. Warren Wilson College (Asheville, North Carolina)
Politically, Warren Wilson "consists of various facets of the left wing: the Democrats, the Greens, and the anarchists. No Republican has ever set foot on this campus. Ever. If they did, they'd probably be pelted to death with hand-rolled cigarette butts," writes one undergrad.
Students who considered Warren Wilson also looked at Antioch College, Guilford College, Lewis & Clark College, and St. John' s College (New Mexico).

6. Sarah Lawrence College (Bronxville, New York)
With about three-quarters of the student population being white as well as "extremely liberal," it sometimes seems that "the student body is much more homogenous than they like to believe."
Students who considered Sarah Lawrence also looked at Barnard College, Boston University, Bryn Mawr College, and Skidmore College.

7. Pitzer College (Claremont, California)

8. Reed College (Portland, Oregon)
Stereotypically, Reedies display their liberal beliefs like a badge; students agree this perception is largely true. One student asserts that "at times, the political liberalism of the student body is undoubtedly stifling to fundamentalist Christians and Republicans"-- not that Reed fosters a thriving population of right-wingers.
Students who considered Reed also looked at Bard College, Grinnell College, Pomona College, and Harvard College.

9. Marlboro College (Marlboro, Vermont)

10. Earlham College (Richmond, Indiana)
