My daughter is likely to go to Tech next year. We’ve only been in GA (Augusta) 18 months, having relocated from a very liberal suburb of St. Louis, where she grew up. My daughter is freaked out about the level of conservatism down here, so my question to current Tech students is this: What’s the political climate on campus? Are there lots of liberal students? How about organizations…? She got a fee waiver to attend Connect With Tech next month because of her SAT scores and I know her primary worry is that she’ll meet a bunch of Bush supporters, Atlanta’s cosmopolitan atmosphere notwithstanding. I don’t mean to be offensive, but this is crucial for her. (I’d ask about musical tastes, but that’s going too far…!) Any help is much appreciated.
