<p>I know a few people who have gone to Bard and you’re certainly right–“radical” is subjective. In terms of politics, Bard students are generally very liberal. You won’t be seeing protests going on every two weeks, but I have heard people are active with asserting their beliefs. Don’t let this dissuade you from going. Bard is a great school with a unique culture. Because of the “liberal atmosphere” people are very accepting. The small size and intimate relationships you’ll build with your peers and professors are excellent selling points.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, Gettysburg is a school of equal caliber. Two great schools, one very difficult choice.</p>
