For a fantastic school experience without having liberal indoctrination shoved down your throat, try Baylor.

Hillsdale is a better school than Baylor.

Hillsdale is like a Hungarian fascism indoctrination center for rich Southern intellectuals.

Sorry your kid didn't get in.

Oh god. The conservative “free speech” people. You are free to express yourself but you are not entitled to be liked, validated, or respected by your classmates.

Professors facilitate respectful conversations in class about various opinions as part of learning and thinking. That’s always been part of higher education.

Trump and Elon, Penn.

Yale intentionally tries to have a mix of all types of students. The conservatives find each other and they are a group, but not a majority. It's not a primarily conservative place.

Every college intentionally tries to have a mix of all types of students. It just happens that there are more teens who lean left at this age and so not all schools accomplish a strong mix.

I would worry less about finding a conservative school, and more about finding out if conservative groups can flourish at the place.

I know of one school where anyone who joins a conservative group becomes a target, which means the school is crap because ideas can’t be discussed. It is more like a 1984 novel than a place of learning. I’ve seen religious schools that I think are the same way, no learning. No talking about other points of view.

What impresses me is when you see schools where religious groups and conservative groups flourish because it’s a real place of learning and discussing. Those colleges are top tier!
Our country wouldn’t work as well if we all thought the same thing. But we have to listen and think and discuss to get to those best ideas. Real colleges is supposed to do that, find those schools, not the indoctrination schools where they train you to be a non-thinker!

Have you checked out FIRE's College Free Speech Rankings? That would get a good index of what you're talking about

Nah, they only focus on letting one side speak.

Smart child?

Dartmouth College.

They just hired a Trump ally as their general counsel.
They haven't signed any of the petitions going around.
"Free Palestine" protests were lukewarm last year.
D'27 was 62% white.
Hanover is 70% white, Asian 12%.
90% of the population in Hanover are US citizens.
19% of the population in Hanover were born outside of the US. Most common country of origin is Canada.

The probability of your child being safe and happy there is high.

Are you a bot? Or do you just think like one? You type this childish crap on every thread.

My kids didn’t apply because they believe in America, democracy, civil rights, and freedom, and have no desire to turn the US into Hungary or Russia.

Um, Hillsdale is in Michigan. And if this sounds like "fascism" to you, then the problem is entirely yours.

Right back at you, in spades. And if you were even the least bit honest, you would acknowledge that many professors absolutely do NOT facilitate respectful conversations representing diversity of thought. Some "thought" is shut down immediately. We all know this.

Oh, the irony! Notice the schools at the very bottom of the free speech rankings: Harvard, Columbia, UPenn, NYU, Barnard. How curious!

Are you the moron who keeps telling people you disagree with to “go to Hungary,” on this thread and others? I just returned from a month in Hungary and absolutely loved it. Maybe try out some new retorts. Yours need work.

I did high-level recruiting for Deloitte, EY, PwC, and the like and they all had blocks on Liberty, Patrick Henry College, Grand Canyon University, Appalachian Bible College, and Bob Jones University grads.

Religious schools that were approved: Notre Dame, BYU, Georgetown, Catholic Univ., TCU, Baylor, SMU, Pepperdine, and others of this caliber.

If he's not LDS, he'll have a hard time making friends at BYU, but all others on the list are fine institutions where conservatives will thrive.

I doubt much of this.
