Same, I go to one of "more left" ivys. The amount amount of Hayek reading dipshits I've had to deal with is crazy. My YDSA chapter is bigger than the campus dems and Republicans though and we've gotten a tuition strike gaining steam and students for justice in Palestine got a bds vote to pass the student government last year.

I will say though that I did not have the experience of disinterested professors. Busy definitely, but I also had super kind profs that hate the admin as much as anyone and want to help the grad students unionize, and were super responsive to helping students if the class wasn't too big. Big school though, definitely neoliberal ghouls all over the place I just didn't take classes with them.

I'd also say though that the instruction quality and rigor were higher than the some of the state schools from conversations I had with transfer students. There was also just a much wider selection of niche courses to take.
