Impact of Higher Education on Political Trajectory
Higher education may not significantly influence the political trajectory of young people. The demographic composition of colleges, including geographical location, plays a crucial role. Professors have limited influence, as peer environment and long-term trajectories like city residence and job settings have a more substantial impact. Education polarization leads to individuals being surrounded by like-minded people, contributing to centrist or left-leaning political views.
