Hello! I'm trying to stay in-state for college and I also want a campus that leans liberal. So, anybody got any suggestions for the most liberal college in Florida?
New College of Florida and Eckerd College might be worth considering. Both are generally regarded as quite liberal in both their learning environments and student demographics.
New College of Florida, located in Sarasota, is the state's designated honors college and is well-known for its progressive and unconventional academic philosophy allowing students to create their own curriculums and receive narrative grades instead of traditional letter grades. It has a diverse student body and it's known for embracing students of different backgrounds and ideologies.
Eckerd College in St. Petersburg is a smaller private institution that's often perceived as more liberal. They also emphasize experiential learning and encourage students to think independently and critically. Eckerd's campus culture fosters a strong sense of community engagement and social responsibility.
Remember, college is a personal experience and these two institutions are known to embrace liberal ideas, but it doesn't mean they might be the right fit for everyone. Consider researching more about their programs, talking to current students or alumni, and eventually scheduling campus visits to get a sense of whether these colleges align with your personal and academic goals.
