Personally, I wouldn’t care at all, because that is a very minor factor in selecting a college. Things like academic quality, health care access, safety, recruiting, cost, accessibility, etc. are far more important.
If the people of a state want to run a state in a particular way, that is their business. What I don’t like is when the people who live in a different state want to force their values on them. Would you like Alabama forcing its value on your state?
