Campuses that Rock the Vote
When students return to school in the midst of an election year, they can expect that their politically-minded classmates will be fired up about the presidential campaigns of Senators McCain and Obama.
Some campuses, however, fan the flames of the political firestorm regardless of whether or not it’s time for a major vote.
The Princeton Review ranks the most politically active campuses in its 2009 Best 368 Colleges. If you prefer CNN to ESPN and political cartoons to comic books, then you might feel quite welcome at one of these top ten schools from this year’s ranking:
1. American University—Washington, DC
2. George Washington University—Washington, DC
3. Princeton University—Princeton, NJ
4. New College of Florida—Sarasota, FL
5. West Point—West Point, NY
6. Warren Wilson College—Asheville, NC
7. Harvard University—Cambridge, MA
8. George Mason University—Fairfax, VA
9. Simon’s Rock College of Bard—Great Barrington, MA
10. Georgetown University—Washington, DC

Maybe more significant in The Princeton Review rankings lists in its just published book, Best 368 Colleges, is its list of top 20 schools where students are “Most Liberal” and top 20 for “Most Conservative.” To see which schools are the Obama and which are the McCain strongholds check out these lists at http://www.princetonreview.com in the area for “Best 368 Colleges.”
