[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like University of Notre Dame but we are still trying to sway DC to another choice.  [/quote]

Why?[/quote]

DH and I both graduated from Notre Dame and it is not the same school anymore.  [b]It is so right-wing now and DC will be uncomfortable there.  We are hoping he chooses University  of Michigan and it looks like he is going to!  [/b]Yay!  [/quote]

Notre Dame really has taken a bad turn as of late.  I agree with your concerns, PP.  We took DC for a visit there two years ago and it was oppressive and weird.  Not the school my Dad talked about in the 1970's at all.  [/quote]
I realize its hard to wrap your narrow mind around the concept that not everyone thinks the same way you do, but a conservative environment is not a 'bad turn'. Many people are not keen on their kid being taught by the left wingnut crowd that is so prevalent at many universities.[/quote]

Probably why that area went for Obama in the presidential election.   I went to school at Notre Dame.  I continue to know a number of lovely kids, both liberal and conservative who go there and love the community and the education they're getting.  Somehow they're able to listen to people with different viewpoints and even be friends with them.  I don't know what you mean by oppressive environment.  ND has the highest concentration of nice people I've ever met anywhere.  Of the three universities I attended for undergrad and graduate school (the other being a top IVY and fairly liberal private ), it was the only one that didn't have a cutthroat and backstabbing climate.  I'd take some conservatism over that any day and I'm about as liberal as they come.[/quote]
I agree with you PP, but keep in mind you're arguing with the Bill Ayer's crowd.[/quote]
