From my experience, UC Santa Cruz has a very politically active student body in all aspects.
From local to national politics, most of the student body I have encountered all have very strong political views that they actively promote through events such as rallies, protests, and seminars. The campus itself also hosts many speakers and actively promotes diversity.
The student body is also not afraid to voice their concerns to the campus administration in the form of public demonstrations.
If you are looking for engaging political experiences academically and environmentally, UCSC can fulfill that.
Best of luck!

I would probably go to a college in Washington D.C because you are in the capital of the White House and where the most important political leaders are located. That means more opportunities to succeed in political science.

It truly depends on what you are looking for in political involvement and activity. I've included a link for the top schools below that have the best political science programs and networking opportunities based on alumni, etc. Below that is a link for the schools that have the most politically active student body based on Princeton Review if you are looking to have a career outside of political science but still be involved in a political sense.

There is no way get a definitive, scientific answer to your question. A lot of information related to your question is based on polls involving the responses of students and professors, which is opinion rather than fact.
You can get an idea via the internet by searching on "most political colleges and universities" or "top political science universities" and browsing through the search results.
Some websites will talk about political science programs at the schools and how they rank across the nation while other websites will highlight politics in higher academia in terms of student activism, public protests, and high-profile controversies on campuses that have been covered by the media such as riots or guest speakers being banned or cancelled from visiting the school.
