On the other hand we’re more politically balanced than Princeton (Conservative Ivy means far left but not quite Marxist)



BioDomer, that’s false. I attend Princeton and have many friends who go to Notre Dame, being Catholic.

Princeton is very balanced. Most students have personal beliefs but don’t discuss them or bring them up. A lot have identified themselves as moderate. But both the conservative camp and the liberal camp are very vocal. Yet at the same time, one not interested in politics can avoid them.

Princeton is NOT “far left.” Even the professors cannot universally be described as such. If you are Catholic, you may have heard of Robert George – a Princeton professor who has a large following in terms of professors, students, and grad students. Although the majority identify as moderate to liberal, it is by no means a vocal majority and not extreme.
