Just FYI, the law school attracts a lot of very conservative people. Since it is one of the top law schools in the country, liberals and conservatives try to get in to it, and the student body there was pretty staid.

The City of Berkeley is very liberal, the campus has a fairly diverse group- although with the standards going ever higher (now I think Cal takes mostly students with 4.0 and above), it's getting less diverse, and more moderate.

I am very liberal, but my school choices do not reflect my politics.

The conservative use of Cal as a shibboleth makes very little sense. The city of Berkeley should be the shibboleth, not Cal. Cal is not the place it was in the 60's, but you'd only know that, I guess, if you went there, or knew people who did.
