PaleoCon here Yes, I want to attend a Far-Right college, but none exist. All of these "conservative" colleges ( Patrick Henry, Hillsdale, Grove City, etc) are dominated by NeoCons of the Religious Right. Harvard, Yale, Oxford, and Cambridge were all Far-Right colleges in 1900. I would've fit in at any one of them. Leftists destroyed them all. All were forced to go co-Ed, become secular, and diversify. I wish there was an all-male Protestant version of St. John's, but none exist. New St. Andrews College might have the environment that I want, but no top PhD program will take a degree from NSA seriously. I'll be visiting St. John's (Annapolis) on Friday. In theory, it looks great. However, I've heard it's very secular and has the typical degenerate culture that exists at most colleges.( drinking, hard drugs, casual sex, etc) |
Ok dude. I read your other thread also. Personally (besides the drinking) I think H-SC would be your best bet if you are still against going to a religious college.
My question to you is, what sort of career do you plan to go into? How do you plan to work and interact with leftist degenerates in the real world? People who drink, smoke, have affairs, premarital sex, ect. Lastly, do you think your oldest sister, Jana Duggar, will ever get married? |
What about Wabash? It sounds like it fits what you are looking for. |
PaleoCon here I probably shouldn't even respond to you given your stupid Duggar reference. I plan to be either a corporate lawyer or a Classics professor. I've dealth with Leftists before, and I don't have a problem dealing with them. I just want a more conservative college experience.(you know, like those Leftists who go to Hampshire, Reed, or Sarah Lawrence because they want to be around like-minded people) You can call me a Duggar all you want, but there are great scholars who would agree with me. Dr. Paul Gottfried has greatly influenced my thinking politically and socially. As far as my Christianity goes, I'm not your average Evangelical. As I've said before, I'm not really a fan of the Religious Right. I'm an intellectual Christian, just like the great Baltimorian J. Gresham Machen. |
A PG boarding school year isn't going to really help your chances at UVA because then you will be competing with all the other Exeter grads to get in. (Also, you will not find those students any more conservative than you find the universities they matriculate to.)
Go in state somewhere, study hard and then transfer. That is by far your best choice. |
PS- you won't get into those PG programs anyhow. And they are $60K or so. |
A gap year program. Show you have character and something in addition to grades to offer |
Great question. I am a corporate lawyer and yeah...if you don't like drinking or smoking or people who do "non-wholesome" activities like that, probably stay away from the field. If you don't like liberalism...stay away from academia. |
I am a conservative who went to a top ten law school, worked in "Big Law" my entire career and didn't smoke or drink in college or since. Hang in there, OP. |
I did a year of community college before transferring. It wasn't exciting, but it wasn't a "miserable" experience. Why in the world would you assume it to be? |
Community college would be your best bet.
One of the qualities of a great human being is the ability to get along with people with views other than his/her own. Are you so insecure in your conservative leanings that you can only surround yourself with people of similar views? In life (after college, grad school, whatever), you will find it difficult to isolate yourself from those with liberal leanings all the time. Get used to it now. Have you considered Google a resource to find answers to some of your questions? You can find answers there to many of your questions. |
Serious question: have you considered BYU? I live in Utah and I've met a lot of pretty smart Mormons who went there. The campus environment would certainly meet your requirements. |
