American University in Washington D.C. has been identified as the most liberal university in the United States, according to a study from the college website Niche, as relayed by 24/7 Wall St.
Not surprisingly, the majority of colleges that meet the criteria are located on the coasts, or northeast portion of the U.S., which are largely considered Democratic areas.
“Among students using (Niche), 86% feel the political beliefs of campus as a whole are either liberal or very liberal. Just 12% of students associate themselves with the Republican Party,” 24/7 Wall St. reported.
So based on the findings, some may consider American University to be largely, well, anti-American.
Here’s a look at the entire top 10, as relayed by 24/7 Wall St.:
- American University
- Northeastern University (Boston)
- University of California-Santa Cruz
- University of Vermont
- Northwestern University
- Stony Brook (New York)
- Mount Holyoke College (South Hadley, Mass.)
- Independence University (Salt Lake City)
- New York University
- University of Oregon
You can view the entire list of top 20 most liberal colleges here. Just know that when it comes to being liberal, American can presumably say, “We’re No. 1.”
AU has always been liberal, but i take great pride in my law degree from AU in part because its the Washington School of Law.
Washington as in George Washington 😜
Yes, AU is a great law school. Definitely top tier.
Wow, surprised to see Stony Brook there.
How liberal are we talking here….so liberal it makes Marx look like a fascist?
Given that the annual cost of many of these Marxist indoctrination centers exceeds the average annual earning power after 10 years, I’d say the taxpayer — who undoubtedly pays for most of these Underwater Basketweaving and Black Racist Militant Homosexual majors — is getting fleeced…
Yup that’s right. I am biased but I told my kids don’t go to college to major in some useless bull shit major, go get a professional degree or don’t go at all. There are plenty of trades whereby one can spend a lot less money and make good wages and eventually own their own shop.
“I’ll take “10 Schools My Kid Won’t Be Going To” for a $1000, Alex”. (RIP)
Glad that none of these schools made my son’s early (9th Grade) list of college choices.
Looked at the list. Shocked I didn’t see UC Berkeley, Smith, or UNH on there. Not shocked UC Santa Cruz was top 3, though. Home of the Banana Slugs
A really, really, really short list would be schools that are conservative.
White liberals who support an ideology & a party that hates them for their skin color, and will eventually strip them of their privilege…based solely on that skin color. Satisfyingly ironic, but also proof that liberalism is a mental disease. Either that, or white liberals are the dumbest people on earth.
12% Republican students? I’m shocked they have not been run off.
I am also surprised that AU students haven’t demanded a name change. American is so…racist sounding!
