Vanderbilt has a lean left but a stronger presence of Republican and conservative voices than you find at many other top 20 institutions. The student body in my opinion is more “reflective” of the workplace you all seek to enter. A divided world politically. In this respect, I feel that Vanderbilt has more accurate training grounds and is more reflective of society for these particular four years of life. The classrooms and the newspapers will not be monolithic in either direction. Obama garnered most votes in those years. Read the newspaper online to see how the student body voted last round. Our Vandy son was active on the left spectrum of things and resided in a residential house that had a history of social activism on campus. That said, I believe liberal students are scattered all over campus now.
