You’re asking for two contradictory things when you’re looking for a conservative college and an open tolerant community.

Definitely CMC. At Washington & Lee, LGBT has to name themselves something like "pink elephant" to barely exist on campus. CMC is relatively more open and tolerant.

In other words, you think CMC is more liberal, but that is not the question.

CMC actually allows a diverse range of voices and lived experiences. Claremont McKenna students aren’t offended that black people exist at their college, while there’s a decent subset of W&L students and alum who can’t stand that there are people of color walking around. W&L is a bit bizarre with how much they suppress open thought in the wrong way. Open thought is about considering both sides

Oh, please stop. At least 50% of W&L’s students are Democrats.

Although CMC wins easily on other substance use.

By proof and knowledge of…? W&L commonly is known for coke use.

W&L alum here. This is the first time that I’ve heard that W&L is known for coke use.

When I was at W&L in the 1990s, the vast majority of the student body was center-left or center- right. Most Republicans on campus were socially liberal and fiscally conservative. From what I’ve heard, the students there are now more liberal.

Because the student body is not monolithic when it comes to politics, you are far more likely to find free speech there than at most other universities. I have no personal experience with CM though.

Dudley was a dud and now he's moving to CMC. Too bad. CMC is cooked.

It’s Washington and Lee. You should probably make sure that you know the name of a college that you are criticizing.

Seriously, WTAF are you blathering about now? Are you the resident W&L hater who probably starts these threads just so you can post your totally made up nonsense?

I think you are making clear just how open-minded you are.

The PP is the usual suspect who sees "W&L" in any thread and goes off on her unhinged rants.

I get that you disagree but that doesn’t mean calling someone unhinged is actually justified in context.

What are you on about? Dudley was a very successful president who made W&L a tremendous amount. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s waiting for Williams college president post to open.

FIRE rankings are very biased and seen by many as pretty meaningless tho.
