There are still conservatives here, but some liberals are much more activist and loud-mouthed.
I took an American literature class here two years ago with a wonderful English professor (specialized in Mark Twain and Huckleberry Finn) who, yes, was definitely liberal, but tried not to interject too much liberalism into his lectures. Of course, the class was at 9 am, so most of us were totally asleep.
Now, I don't make too many forays into the College of Arts & Sciences, other than for math classes, so what I write here suffers from a limitation in my perspective.
I don't mind liberals who are honest about it and try not to force it on you. Glad to hear that there are still conservatives there. And so sorry to hear that the libs have taken over. I would never have expected that in a million years. The best church I've ever gone to is in Charlottesville and I've missed it--still do--all these years.
I wish you the best with your studies.
