Has anyone ever stopped to think that perhaps proportions of anti- college professors may vary depending on the area? For example, I'd expect to find more anti's at Berkeley than I would at Texas A&M. Seems to me that the colleges that get the most exposure are often in "Blue" states like California or Massachussetts and thusly their liberal faculty get more exposure and contribute to the stereotype.

Indeed I have noticed this. Some of my friends who go to smaller private colleges have talked about having more conservative profs. I'm at Madison, which is known for a couple of things: a tendency to party hard and having more liberals than you can shake a stick at.
I ended up going here because Madison is the only university in WI that offers my major and out of state tuition was scary. Yeah, I could have gone to MN (they have tuition reciprocity with WI), but being raised a badger, I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
