I'm at the same university degrawj attended, and I have to say I think it is a pretty balanced situation at large here at Oregon State--we have a conservative student body and a fairly liberal faculty. The two even each other out a lot, surprisingly. Besides which--certain programs and departments around our campus tend to be more conservative and others more liberal.
It really does balance out.
