I think the most interesting thing that I learned from my research was that according to the findings of the Freshman Survey, an annual study of first-year college students administered by UCLA's Higher Education Research Institute, political polarization on campuses is the most extreme it has been in the study's 51-year history. The 2016 report is based on responses from 137,456 full-time, first-year students at 184 U.S. colleges and universities.
While, I knew that we are extremely polarized today and it is felt by many, I didn't realize before that out of every single year in which this study has been conducted, this year was the most polarized it has ever been.
