<p>The main conservative organization at Brandeis, the Brandeis Conservative-Libertarian Union, is the umbrella group for other conservative organizations (the only one I can think of off the top of my head is Brandeis Republicans). The student newspapers do print conservative op-eds, but not nearly as much as liberal ones, just due to numbers. And the BCLU is definitely known on campus. We had a controversy a month or so ago regarding promotion for one of the BCLU’s events. (I’m not associated with any of the political organizations on campus, but this was a pretty well-known thing.)</p>
<p>As for socially awkward, it depends on who you hang out with. If you’re hanging out with the English and especially the Music crowd, don’t worry about a thing. :P</p>
<p>Brandeis is very diverse across socioeconomic lines. We have a ridiculous number of international students and first-generation college students–I’m one of the latter.</p>
<p>From what was said above, Hamilton seems to focus on critical thinking in the modern-day. Brandeis is definitely a social justice school. Not that we don’t have fun–the satire magazine on campus, Gravity, went around yesterday putting up “Boloney 2012” posters.</p>
