[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, your DD sounds annoying. And Indiana is probably more conservative and racist than a lot of the south. IYKYK[/quote]

Yes, Indiana is very conservative.  You need to research.[/quote]

A conservative going to IU thinking it's conservative is going to be very disappointed. It's more liberal than MI or Wisconsin.

Check voting records. Close to 85% democratic. That's Park Slope level [/quote]

I think a big question is whether you have a kid who plans to stay on campus, or leave campus.

Being part of a broader community, with people of all ages, was important to me in college.  By the end of freshmen orientation, I had arranged a job, and a regular volunteer commitment in the community.  I was visiting parts of my new city.  Two of my kids will be also be accessing medical care in whatever community he ends up living in, due to a chronic issue.

So, while the political climate on campus might be a factor, the political climate in the broader community, and the state matters too.

I have 3 kids who will be going off to college in the next few years.  For one of my kids, a red state would be a deal breaker.  He would not look at Indiana.  One of my kids will stay close to home, and one is considering schools around the country although he's more likely to pick Purdue, or Rose Hulman than IU based on his specific interests.  Each kid will need to make their own decision.[/quote]
