Political atmosphere at MIT

<p>I’m a current freshmen who follows politics fairly closely but doesn’t actively volunteer for causes. Campuswide there wasn’t a huge amount of interest in the election although various groups help debate watching parties that were decently attended. There is a student group The Forum that hosts political discussions although I thought the level of discussion wasn’t very high. Very few people wore campaign t-shirts or buttons though. When Nate Silver came to the Media Lab more people came than could fit in the auditorium though.</p>
