[quote=Anonymous]Paleo - I think that you are confusing conservative politics with the study of classics.  Both are very different.  Though I am sure that you know that.

Very intellectual and liberal leaning students seek out the classics as a basis of a very good liberal arts education (the old school style liberal arts).

I am sure that you know both these things.  However, one of the great things about college is exposure to other people and schools of thought. Not to FORCE you to change your perspective on the world.. but to better understand what other people think and why; and then really think through why you look at the world in the way you do.  It may or may not lead to any change, but it is worth the discomfort.

HSC may have a drinking problem, but you do not have to participate.  Though I doubt you'd be able to get into a fraternity or have much of a social life.

Finally - have you looked into schools in the UK?  They may have old school classics programs. Union University in TN?
