Judging by the results from the polls/precincts where my university is at, I would be slightly to the left of the median voter, who would be a liberal. Typically the Liberals do well here, and Conservatives fare poorly. 40% Liberal, 30% NDP, and 20% Conservative would be a typical result. However compared to other schools in Canada we're much more apolitical (really low turnout) so the median voter wouldn't really be a liberal but rather someone who is uninformed or apathetic about politics. So far almost everyone I've discussed politics at my university with has been a liberal, interestingly.

My high school is more competitive politically. In the mock student vote Conservatives actually won twice (2011 Federal, 2011 Provincial). For some reason, Liberals aren't popular, and in those elections Greens and NDP got second place. In the 2014 provincial the NDP actually won the mock student vote narrowly, with PC and Green close behind. I would be somewhat more to the left of my high school, but still not a lot. The people I know there are evenly split between Liberals, Conservatives, and Greens, not many Dippers, so I was surprised to hear that the NDP won the mock vote.
