"Over a quarter of applicants (28 percent) said that they 'exclude schools solely based on political considerations in the state where the institution is located,' according to a recent survey from the Art & Science Group."
"The report noted that conservative students cited few - if any - specific policies that influenced their decision to rule out schools in liberal states, citing instead the 'broad' concern that the states are 'too Democratic,' with a smaller amount saying states were too accepting of LGBTQ+ people."
"Substantial majorities of liberal students named a 'long list of particular policy issues,' with 'abortion and reproductive rights' and 'too Conservative LGBTQ+ laws' at the top."
"When it came to students' willing to reject states based on politics, researchers found 'no significant differences based on ideological affiliation,' with 33 percent moderate, 26 percent liberal, 23 percent conservative, and 18 percent undecided reporting they would do so."
