You will find woke there too. It's the weather tou want to think twice about. Maybe. And like many amazing universities, the 'hood where it's located.

To me this means being open to being friends with people who are different from each other while not looking to find fault with others or keep up a bro culture identity. Agree schools that aren't top party or activist schools.

Really, you kid can live using his preferred he/him pronouns and everyone will be fine with it. If you're worried about gay people being in the dorms .. yeah, you're too late. You were ALWAYS too late.

My rising senior cares about the woke thing. She is focusing on Catholic universities. She's pro-life, so she doesn't want to be shunned when she states her opinion on such things should they come up. She needs a place where she can find her people.

You will need to focus on more extreme religious schools. DD is at a Catholic university and many of the kids on campus are pro choice. They may not choose abortion for themselves, but they feel women should have the choice to decide. The same is true at many of the Catholic high schools in the area as well. Not all Catholics are ultra conservative.

Yes, but you will also find a robust right to life club at schools like Boston College and Notre Dame. Of course most students are pro-choice and that isn't the issue. DD wants an environment where her views are supported. That won't be the case at most ivies and other top schools, which are echo chambers. Plus DD is very religious and Catholic, so why would she go to a religious school that is not Catholic?
