"SFL students I met had vastly better social skills and are generally much more socially “normal” than were the young libertarians of my own generation (I graduated college in 1995):

The Students for Liberty conference has to be seen to be believed: the attendance (about 500 students), the energy (off the charts), and most remarkably of all, the high social skills. Twenty years ago, a pack of libertarian students would have been roughly as awkward and freakish as attendees at Comic-Con... or, say, me. Now I see hundreds of students who aren’t just smart, but smooth. What happened?"

An interesting comment regarding the part of the piece that references increased female involvement.

"Bill Alexander says:
I wonder. Back in the dark ages, when I went to college, the percentage of women to men was pretty dismal. Now, at many or most colleges, there are more women than men. Maybe some of them are playing the odds. Also, I suspect (with a total lack of proof) that college libertarians have better financial prospects than college liberals. Bill Alexander(Quote)"
