Top SLACs/Ivins non political

[Anonymous]

DC sick of politics. Wants to go to good school (has the grades, etc.) But wants to go learn and have fun without it being political day in day out. Recommendations?

Wash and Lee. Notre Dame. Tulane. Baylor. Ivies are political.

Liberty. By political you mean “liberal” right? You’re fine if the politics are to the right so a school like Liberty should be fine.

NP, not OP, but this is my question too. And yes, I'll say it - I am not interested in sending DC to a progressive/ liberal school. Liberty is not what we're looking for.

Any other thoughts?

“Ivies are political”. God that is stupid word salad. Please ignore this idiocy. I guarantee more polarized thinking at ND and Baylor than at Dartmouth or Cornell.

You deplorable traitorous capitol storming mouth breathers will never learn.

I think you underestimate how much the current wokeness has seized higher ed. When I went to professional school, it was just that. For learning my profession. My school has been annexed by Wokeistan. And don’t get me wrong, I’m totally #BLM, but it’s definitely a different place than before.

Maybe engineering programs are still focused on core curriculum but no way any SLAC or Ivy in America is.

21:12. I know. And it freaks me out, frankly, that I will not only be sending DC into this madness in a couple of years, but am expected to pay for it.

Look, you’re really not “expected to pay” for some artificially narrow set of schools. Send them to a state flagship in a serious program (not liberal arts).

Top state schools are large enough that kid can escape the woke factions and find his/her own friends thru Greek system, club/IM sports, other clubs and activities. It is not possible to fully avoid the 25% of crazed radicals at any SLAC because the overall class size is just too small.

Among the Ivy-like mid-sized private universities, the best options would be MIT because of STEM focus (no one majors in XX Studies or Sociology at MIT) or UChicago because of its commitment to free expression. UChicago has plenty of leftists in students and faculty but the discourse and culture are still many degrees different than most Ivys. UChicago is not a right-wing school by any means,but as the home of Milton Friedman and Robert Bork and Antonin Scalia, it also has a proud heritage as the intellectual defender of capitalism and originalism. Of course, Bernie Sanders is an alum and Obama taught there as well.
