I attended college later in life, after service time, and was a bit older, thus I could clearly see a difference. It is simply a fact that universities are more liberal.
I do think however, that the divide between liberal and conservatives is wider. Both sides have moved to the extremes, thus that liberal attitude early in college life will be more pronounced.
University life helped me a lot, as I had a lot of questions after my military experiences, and while each answer I got was not easily accepted, I did learn how to search for truth and to honor truth.
If a professor lied to me, that was it. If he/she even colored the truth, I was very upset. I am not speaking of opinions...opinions normally generated more discussion and I honored that.

Perhaps my fault but I do not recall any student interaction on politics and government. I cannot comment about military service and vietnam for I did not EARN the right.
I had a legitimate 4F and they would not have taken me IF, I TRULY WANTED TO GO.
My first two years, I attended a community college AT NIGHT and worked a 40 hour a week job plus some weekends. I remember not having time to waste in the bathroom so I did some reading there.
I have no sympathy for the you owe mees of this country.
As to that speech. I am embarrassed that far too many of the people who recognize the great opportunity this country offers are foreign born.
This country was not built on equal standard of living but on equal opportunity. The concept of equal standard of living is communism. It is actually a great liberal thought-OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT IT DOES NOT WORK.
There are sooooo many examples-East Germany vs West Germany, Greece, N. Korea vs South Korea etc and while we turn more and more toward communism and socialism, the communist socialist countries turn more and more toward capitalism. In the real world, people work harder for themselves then for the collective. By working hard, they produce and all of the collective benefit.
The concept of FAIR is a term tossed about by liberals.
IT IS UNDEFINED two people look at the same thing and do not agree what is fair.
I do not recall who said it but,"The difference between success and failure is that the successful person keeps trying." For me failure was simply not an option.
When, I graduated college I received a note of congratulation and that my first college loan payment was due in ??????? two months????????
Financially, I did quite well. ONLY REASON WAS THAT FAILURE WAS NOT AN OPTION.
