Post this on the Michigan board. They'd know for sure. Of course most universities are liberal. It all comes down to the severity.

I would probably say that they lean liberal, considering that U of Michigan is about as loonie left as they get, and they're in the same state system. More than likely most of the students are conservative (or in my findings at schools i've attended, like most just dont give a rip one way or another), most of the general staff of the university would be conservative, but the professors and administration would be leftists/liberals.

I think that Hillsdale College and Michigan Technological University are the only conservative leaning colleges in Michigan. And MTU is only conservative because of the students that want to go into engineering.

While Michigan State University was liberal when my parents were students there in the '50's.

Probably depends a lot on the courses that one takes, and the instructors.

There is one guy who walks around with anti-Israel t shirts, that is about the nuttiest thing I've seen on campus from professors. There are classes like IAH 201 that are just pathetic, but a lot of classes are good. I have an Econ degree from MSU and never realy encountered a whole lot of liberalism, overt liberalism. The harder subjects are apolitical but the soft subjects are just as liberal as any university.

The school paper is incredibly leftist, but big surpirse.

Go to University of Michigan, it's a much better school.

State is a party school.

Having graduated from both.

My opinion.

U of Michigan is a hornets nest of liberal teachers (not professors)who have not held a real job (meet payroll)

Michigan State University is more conservative, however, as an earlier poster said, its a matter of degree. The liberal arts program and under first two years of undergraduate and the teacher program suffer greatly from liberal brain cramp sickness.

I graduated from MSU's College of Education in 1995. My answer to your question is a resounding YES.

State alumnus here.

It's a liberal school, although not like U-M or Wisconsin Madison. Most MSU students are apolitical.

A lot of the politics depends on the department. The science classes I took didn't touch politics as all. I was a Poly Sci major and while most of them were lib, I only had one real bad joker I had to deal with. I also took a few classes there taught by Professor Bill Allen who is very conservative. If you are studying political science and can get into his classes, I recommend it.

UofM (University of Manama) is really conservative.

Graduated MSU in 1991. Went through Army ROTC, wore my uniform around campus, and not one liberal remark. The only adverse reaction I received was from other guys, usually when they were trying to pick up women, like I was a threat to their masculinity by wearing the uniform.

Also knew the then-president of whatever the Gay Lesbian group was, and he knew me and my ROTC involvement. No adverse remarks were exchanged.
