Conservative Colleges

[Anonymous]

Elite conservatives all go to Ivies and try to pull every string to get their kids into Ivies.

Funny how that works, right?

Is this what passes for a sentence among your crowd?

NP here. Unclench, Granny.

At a minimum, you should have an education in basic rules of written English regardless of the political climate at your chosen college.

NP here. Stop. Seriously. No one wants the grammar police.

DP. No one is interested in the political put-downs, either. Seriously.

How is the first comment a putdown? trump is conservative and still head of the Conservatives/Republicans. If you want to find a conservative college, look for one that invited him to speak.

Simple common sense.

Small red state colleges would be my guess. I actually don’t know any politically conservative kids!

I went there and 20 years later from what I can tell my classmates are pretty evenlly distributed politically liberal/moderate/conservative or even up to 50% liberal. My own friend group (now as 40+ year olds) is super liberal.
Wheaton sends a ton of students on to get PhDs (it's always ranked very high on this among American colleges) and I don't think you can spend that many years in academia without at least trending moderate.
The college itself has remained apolitical in recent times, even with the heavy politicalization of the christian church in America (to the right).

My conservative friends (I have many connections from childhood) all send their kids to Liberty or Grove City. Wheaton is viewed as way too liberal by many of them.

Yes. Grad of another Christian college here.
Some go to Christian college for theology classes or Christian community, but not necessarily for conservative views. There's also a Christian left (most of my friends) at many Christian colleges. Far right are the likes of Liberty, ORU, Bob Jones -- very different from the likes of Wheaton, Messiah, Eastern etc. Still a politically conservative outlook would find some company on these campuses.

I would advise whatever school has great programs. Schools need a variety of student perspectives!

FWIW, my kid of faith (though not poliitically conservative) is looking primarily at Wheaton, Ivies, and NE LACs.

+1. I honestly don’t know why posters took it so hard!

It is a discussion about higher education so at least write a decent sentence. Not great, not amazing...just one that would at least pass muster in college.

And how is trump a conservative? He is an opportunist. He was a democrat for a decade and he also is trying to stage a coup. At least choose a real conservative speaker for this exercise.

The University of Chicago
The rest are mostly in the South — e.g., SMU, many Southern flagships

I also heard that Uchicago is more tolerant than other top universities but not sure what that is based on

Takes freedom of speech very seriously.

I would say at least half of the conservative kids I know attend Liberty - even if they graduated from public school. My impression is it's generous with aid.

Yes - my conservative friends of faith also send their kids to Pensacola, a number of Bible colleges (Lancaster, Moody, etc), Thomas Aquinas

My Christian moderate friends are also at Wheaton, Messiah, Eastern Mennonite, Baylor

Other schools I've heard they are fond of (but I don't know well enough): Calvin College, Hope College, Dallas, Cedarville,

Conservative schools without a religious affiliation: Utah State, Clemson, any of the military colleges, Pepperdine, SMU, Washington and Jefferon, Washington and Lee, North Georgia, Univ of South Carolina

A lot of conservatives I know attend state schools and regional publics in their Red states: places like Florida Atlantic, Univ of Missouri, Univ of Montana

This is hilarious. Your writing is terrible. Not amazing, not decent, just terrible. At least write a sentence that would pass muster at my high school.
