Which Colleges Have Been Ranked as Most Liberal on Niche?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows what colleges are listed as the most liberal on Niche? And how accurate are these rankings?

a year ago

Niche compiles their lists based on survey responses from students at each school. Each survey has a question about the political leanings of the campus, so it's based on self-reported data, which can make it challenging to establish complete accuracy. Rankings can change over time as new survey data comes in, but as of my last check, some of the schools at the top of their "Most Liberal Colleges in America" list were:

- Sarah Lawrence College

- Oberlin College

- Reed College

- Vassar College

- Wesleyan University

Remember, a school’s position on a list like this doesn’t necessarily reflect every student’s experience. College communities are often a mix of many viewpoints and experiences, so it’s always a good idea to explore a school in multiple ways - talk to current students, audit a few classes if you can, and see if the overall environment aligns with your own beliefs and comfort level. These rankings can be a great starting point, though!
