<p>UCSB’s liberal history probably rivals that of Berkeley (Google “Isla Vista Bank of America Burning” or “Governor Reagan National Guard Isla Vista” for info…), but I think the school has moderated considerably till then. I was off-and-on involved with a political club on campus (I was a Poli Sci major) and I found the relations between the conservative and liberal campus clubs were much better than what I saw at home (used to live 1 mile from San Francisco State). Campus Democrats and College Republicans get along and used to host regular debates back when I was a student (05-08). </p>
<p>I think there is still a bit of a tinge of the belief that being liberal is “cooler” than being conservative, but I’ve found that to be true almost any place that is dominated by a younger demographic.</p>
