Yes and now. Dd is in southern LAC. We are independent politically and culturally. I mean by it that I tell my kids never go with the crowd no matter what, check all sources on both sides and make your own decisions about everything. Dd said that it is extremely difficult to be Pro Israel on campus (she is pretty much target all the time, including Yik Yak) and many people are Pro Palestinian with 0 knowledge about anything and do not want to listen any arguments. Also with majority leaning democratic, kids who are independent and conservative feel like outcasts on campus. Not all are able to find their peers. And LACS are small, so everyone knows everything and their views (if they are open. ) Given the above, I strongly recommend consider political climate on campus.
