  • Climate change and you after Glasgow;
  • Admissions preferences – yes or no?;
  • Hookup culture – liberating or degrading?;
  • Immigration – which America do you prefer?

Best political discussion I ever had.

Eye-opening. Refreshing. I loved it!

Students can win prizes for inviting friends, filling out a survey.
