Is Sedona, AZ liberal? -

The county s statistics (Yavapai) are very conservative, but I hear the city is not. Is Sedona, the city itself, liberal?

Very Liberal. Lots from Ca. and from out East. Seems well over 90% of then come to AZ wanting to make it like the state they left. That should tell you something. I for one have more use for the illegals. At least they aren t wanting to make us another Ca or NY

I once visited there and enjoyed my stay there. the folks are friendly to tourists and many charming shops and art galleries.I wouldn t mind visiting again this spring. I didn t hear any political talk ,but friendly people having a nice time. I live in Alaska and spring here is muddy and still too cold most folks go to hawaii, but I prefer seeing lovely Sedona again. I have made e-mail penpals and have offers to stay in some their homes. I plan on getting some alaskan Native art gifts to some nice people that have given me warm hospitality.

By Arizona s standard, yes. But if you re looking for liberal, Arizona is a terrible idea.

Yes... The city is very liberal. Probably the most liberal in all of AZ.

It attracts a lot of artists and free thinking people who are into spiritual beliefs.

Lots of Space Cadets here , very liberal :)I love it

Do you think I could get accepted in University of Hawaii at Manoa? -

I am not in-state. I am doing the Army ROTC, and my GPA is a 3.4-3.5I am the top half of my graduating class.4 AP Classes. Good extra-curriculars.Half Korean and white.

Well, you could get in. The question is whether you would want to attend UH as an undergrad. There are hundreds of colleges and universities in North America with a more rigorous curriculum in most departments, stronger reputations, much more vibrant campus lives, better availability of campus housing, easier parking, more money for scholarships and other aid, and lower costs of living. UH Manoa is the school for you in a few very specific situations: you want to major in a subject in which Manoa is particularly strong (astronomy, marine sciences, Asian languages, Hawaiian studies); you have close family and friends on Oahu; you cannot live without poi, poke, and pipikaula on a regular basis; surfing is your life; you feel at home among the working class Asian, Pacific Islander, and multiracial cultures that dominate Hawaii; or you really feel compelled to immerse yourself in a foreign culture without actually leaving the United States. UH Manoa is great for graduate school, but for the typical undergrad, college life could be so much better somewhere else.

Unless you intend to study Marine Biology or Travel Tourism, you would probably find a better fit at another school with a 3.4 and 1800+ SAT.I have a freind who went to UH to study physics and was terribly disappointed becasue most of the course work was covered in her highschool AP physics courses.Of course all of this changes if you just really want to be in Hawaii

You seriously have to ask this question? 3.4 GPA and an 1830 SAT score and you have to ask this question??? Of course you can get in. Any dumby can get into UH. I bet a 2.5 GPA and 900 SAT score will get you into UH. You should think of going to a much better school like UCLA, USC, CAL, or University of Washington.

Ari is half right... you should have no problem getting into UH Manoa. But he is wrong about the standards. You need at least a 3.0. At least that is what I was told when my son applied. That was a few years ago, but I doubt it has changed much.
