Back OT: UP is also known for its activist professors. The school is not solely responsible because people make up their own minds, but it's dishonest to claim that schools don't influence attitudes. If the professors are left-leaning or have no manners, then it's likely a number of their students will be swayed to thinking the same way.
Think of it this way, if colleges can't mold character then what's the difference if a student goes to college or not, or goes to this college or that. You mean to say you're going to be content if your kids go to just any college? Surely some schools are better than others right?
