I'd agree Vanderbilt would be most liberal. Could not get over the complete body tats & multiple piercings of every other student when we were there last. Love Nashville, though.
That does not sound like Vanderbilt at all.

It was last summer in every restaurant & coffee shop within a 10 mile radius of the campus, all with backpacks, in their 20s, talking about their classes.

I agree with Cornelius. That is not the Vanderbilt I know. That sounds more like the hipsters that hang out down on 21st, Broadway or West End - geography close, but worlds apart.

I'm sure there were, all in their Wranglers & plaid cut-off sleeved t-shirts, showing their biceps. Not very Bohemian.

The faculty at all of them are ultra-liberals. The student body it probably varies a bit.

Lexington is pretty damn liberal. Gay mayor, large gay population, always votes Democrat (as opposed to the rest of the state).
UK itself, not so much. Too many people from other places. I would venture that UK probably has the least greek student body, I think it is less than ten percent. Probably affects things.

Most SEC schoools have a sizeable liberal population but that is mostly due to yankee transplants who come down. Majority of the liberals at SC were from Ohio or Pennsylvania. Then they stick around Columbia after they graduate and wait tables because they got their degree in liberal arts telling everyone they should be like them, to be more liberal as they pass you your Guiness and steak at Longhorn. It's an ongoing system of institutional tyranny.

Take out the black population, and you have a Romney win. I just can't believe Starkville was Obama

Well, my roommates' sister, when I was in college, graduated from Vandy, and she, along with her friends were very much the non- conformists and a bit outer limits, when I visited. Maybe it's just the type of people I see when I'm there. 
I did meet some "normal" people at Vandy through my sorority, though.

That might be a more accurate description.

This. There is definitely the tatted up and pierced element in Nashville, but they are probably not Vanderbilt undergraduate students.

Yeah, the hipster hangouts are very close to the university. I mean right across the street from the campus and the neighborhoods that boarder the campus. Not to mention a lot of the "starving musicians" hang out down that way too.
Sure there are some nonconformists at Vandy, but thats no different that any other college campus. Maybe they stand out more at Vandy because the student population is so small. Most Vandy students come from very affluent families and tend to drive imported cars rather than have body piercings and ink.
Think more limousine liberal than grunge liberal.

Mizzou is a very conservative school despite the state and city of Columbia not being that way. The student population is majority of white rural kids and fringe suburbanites. The student population is very accepting but conservative.

Actually, I enjoyed my last trip thru there a lot. Saw some pretty houses, lake, ate some really tasty aged hog with good sauce. Not a bad area even with the Bowedshemans out running around..
