What to do with these results

For future Sciences Po students, it is sad to say that we can only advise you to remain discreet about your political ideas until the exams, as we explain in more detail here, especially if you do not fit into this political trend.

For the curious citizen, this information should give food for thought. Is it good that such institutes have such a strong political color? Is it so negative? After all, many professions / fields of study are also marked by a political color. It is not so difficult to recognize certain trends for entire categories of professions. We invite you to share your thoughts on this question in the comments.

Also, if you have a different opinion about our findings, especially as students or professors at Sciences Po, feel free to let us know, also in the comments.
