Well… from the OP’s description, his/her daughter won’t be likely to just keep quiet about politics. Someone who feels that strongly isn’t going to be content staying quiet.

I’d say Tech is indeed conservative, with more support for Republicans than otherwise. There are indeed organizations, such as the popular College Republicans and College Democrats. However, the College Republicans seem to be a lot more visible on campus.

Georgia, aside from the city of Atlanta, is heavily Republican. Bush won Georgia easily, and the governor is a Republican. The Talk Radio is conservative.

Who knows, maybe being in Georgia will be a good experience for her. It isn’t normal to be so distraught about these kinds of things to this point. Sure, being into politics is important… but she needs some perspective first.
