The heading on this might be a bit misleading — there are colleges that are “conservative” (e.g., Liberty) and then there are colleges that aren’t “conservative” per se but are more more tolerant of a diversity of views. Unfortuntely,it’s a pretty short list.

The University of Chicago
The rest are mostly in the South — e.g., SMU, many Southern flagships

Shepherd is not conservative— definite post-hippie vibe.

For the most part, conservative colleges are truly a terrible investment in your child's future unless you're dead-set on your kid only ever working for a Republican. A degree from Liberty sends huuuuge red flags for most firms.

I went there and 20 years later from what I can tell my classmates are pretty evenlly distributed politically liberal/moderate/conservative or even up to 50% liberal. My own friend group (now as 40+ year olds) is super liberal.
Wheaton sends a ton of students on to get PhDs (it's always ranked very high on this among American colleges) and I don't think you can spend that many years in academia without at least trending moderate.
The college itself has remained apolitical in recent times, even with the heavy politicalization of the christian church in America (to the right).

My conservative friends (I have many connections from childhood) all send their kids to Liberty or Grove City. Wheaton is viewed as way too liberal by many of them.

Rice and Shepherd are not even remotely conservative.

I also heard that Uchicago is more tolerant than other top universities but not sure what that is based on
