Most conservative of the top schools

[Anonymous]

I usually see Liberty University in Virginia on lists of conservative universities.

Yes but anyone who would ask this might as well go straight there or to Liberty.

Is this a joke?

Um, no. Why would you think it's a joke? CMC definitely leans conservative, and it's a top liberal arts college.

Are the "least liberal" of the Top 25 Schools. They aren't exactly conservative, but you might be able to express a conservative view without being shot down.

This is a good guide to schools that still offer an open academic environment:

There are some surprises, for example, Reed generally regarded as very liberal still allows academic freedom.

Interesting, my DC applied to 4 of those, along with BC and Georgetown. I'd agree that those schools are more balanced.

OK, Liberty may not be Princeton but it's no joke, either. Even if it isn't everyone's cup of tea, people graduate from Liberty with solid preparation and training.

Maybe, but it's on the fringes of polite society and espouses abhorrent views.

I always thought of Dartmouth as a particularly republican college campus for an ivy.

Notre Dame

I just wrote Notre Dame and then skimmed to see if it had been mentioned. I don't think that a lot of the schools mentioned are "top" schools. Maybe conservative, but not top.

They all allow academic freedom. If you come from the perspective of "what schools will tolerate my intolerance" you won't get very far, but to suggest conservative thought is persecuted on campus is ridiculous.

+1

+2. Pretty sure every single one of the Top 25 has a Republican/Conservative club. If you are looking for a place where you can express conservative views on taxes, affirmative action, and the like in a thoughtful manner, you should be fine in any of these places. If you're one of the racist posters here, and you want your kid to be able to express racist views "without being shot down," well then you do need a fringe school.

Stanford is definitely more conservative than UC-Berkeley or UCLA and those 3 are considered as top schools in the country. I don't understand your response.

This person was looking for a Liberty U type.
