Majority of Princeton’s conservative seniors uncomfortable sharing political views: survey

A majority of self-described conservative seniors at Princeton University reported feeling uncomfortable “sharing [their] political views on campus,” according to this year’s annual survey of the graduating class.

Over 64 percent of students who self-identified as “very conservative” were “very uncomfortable” or “somewhat uncomfortable” sharing their political views, according to the survey. Just over 55 percent who called themselves “somewhat conservative” were “very” or “somewhat” uncomfortable.

Nearly 43 percent of students who identified as “moderate” were “very uncomfortable” or “somewhat uncomfortable” sharing their views.
