How accurate is the political climate from ChatGPT in some LACs

I’d suggest you validate with statistics from niche. Put the school name + niche in a search engine.

In niche, once in the specific school, go to school - for example Grinnell - the go to the Student Life link and scroll down. You’ll get a picture like this. There will be one for each school. Niche is based on surveys - how many surveyed varies - Grinnell says 19 responses - but we found the tool generally accurate from what we experienced on visits or what the kids friends say. Solid directionally at the least. In contrast I also put F&M (40 responses) to bounce off your list. And Bucknell which shows more liberal but only 16 respondents.

I’d suspect most aren’t politically motivated on campus at all but you could likely also tie the level of family conservativeness to the % of full pay. Higher the full pay potentially more conservative.
