<p>Of course the majority of students and profs are liberal (it’s college), but less so than at other elite schools. There are more southern students, so that may have something to do with it. The professors are definitely more liberal than the students, but there are some conservatives in the econ and poli-sci departments (Feaver for international relations!).</p>
<p>There’s a sense of apathy, but you can find politically active organizations on campus. I’m in the Duke Conservative Union and College Republicans, and we regularly hold campus events and go to conferences (we went to CPAC in D.C. this year). It’s a small group, but it’s there if you’re interested.</p>
