Please, please, please tell me what school in the South or anywhere can be categorized as having "conservative" views? I would send DC there in a heartbeat.

Hampden-Sydney. If your kid is male, you're all set.

Washington & Lee, Christopher Newport, VMI, NC State, Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Ole Miss, and so on.

There are exactly three decent southern schools. Duke, which is for inveterate d-bags and gives me douche chills just thinking about it, Rice, which is in that hellhole of Houston and seems boring as hell, and Vandy, which is unimpressive in every way imaginable except for the steady stream of felons that emanate from its athletic programs. How can any sane person compare that intellectual wasteland to the northeast, home of HYP and M and AWS and CC and BD and about four dozen other colleges that are demonstrable superior to whatever dumpsterfire yokel-holes you may have created out of necessity down south.

Wow. You’re filled with a lot of hate. Bet you’re the typical Northerner who can’t work a room or graciously host an event to save her life. You remind me of my MIL who constantly puts her foot in her mouth and says rude comments.

No, I'm the kind of Northerner who can't abide imbeciles. We would obviously not get along.

Stereotypes are all rooted in fact.....yankees are brutally honest and forthright. Southerners are all a bit slow on the uptake, but genial and pleasant like a dim-witted child.

Your response is a good reminder of why I need to send my kids to school in the south.

Okay, you made me laugh. Factually wrong and douchey but pretty damn funny. Reluctantly +1.

This is normal in Baltimore too but I wouldn't consider it a southern city.

Actually we are from Massachusetts, and when we moved to the DC area, I was stricken not only by the number of black workers, but at the attitudes of these workers. It felt like they were defensive and there was truly a sense of a division based on race. In Massachusetts and the rest of New England, there is no sense of this at all. There is more feeling of equality. We moved here about 10 years ago, and I am used to it now, but when I go back to NE, I am reminded at how much more pleasant black folks are in the north. They just seem to be happier in general.

This seems to be more common whenever there’s a large African American population. It has nothing to do with being in the NE. When you’re black and living in a white town in Massachusetts you probably feel like you have to fit in and act pleasant.

This is probably the most racist thing said on this thread. And no, Massjoles are not in any way superior to Southerners when it comes to racial matters. Some of the most racist people I know are from New England.

If you are not a Republican, the south is terrible. Stay north. If you are a Republican, you will love the south.

Prediction: You'll turn out to be a student in a Neuro Linguistic Programming Dark Arts class who comes from some place like Wyoming.
