Colleges for conservative student

Anonymous
Agree, most of the Catholic schools will have a mix. Big state schools will also have a good mix. IMO, traditional conservatives are everywhere, they are just ‘quieter’ and less noticeable on most college campuses.

If they are a religious conservative most likely they should go to a religious school.
If they are a normal conservative like Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, or George W. Bush then they should go to any school with everyone else.
If they are a MAGA than they should not go to college at all because either their worldview is inconsistent with a higher education.

Didn't they take over a college in Florida because it was "too woke" for the express purpose of making it repressive in the other direction? So go there.

Also because a degree is kind of a MAGA black mark, isn't it?

I think there are some good schools listed here. I think the Southeast will probably give the best options---W&L, University of Richmond, Wake Forest are the first three I thought of that are also top tier universities. Also agree the SEC conference state schools will also have a good mix.

This. College is for young adults to open their minds and bust out of "safe spaces," including limiting/restricting paradigms such as "conservative views" or "liberal views".

Most any smaller private school in the southeast.

Hunt: it's not the college or the professors that make a school more conservative, it's your fellow students and their parents.

I believe Florida is cracking down on free thinking, so I’d start with FL universities. Ohio was also trying to pass something that allows anyone who challenges history and gets any push back from a prof correcting the veracity, will allow for the firing of the prof. Essentially that means that fake history prevails, so a conservative student has a lot of power. That could be appealing, depending on how vindictive your child may be.

When you say "conservative" do you mean MAGA or like traditional republicanism? There is a difference.


Economic conservatism has been proven to be false, since we have decades of history showing the economy performs better under democrats. So, the only thing left is social conservatism.
