[quote=Anonymous]I predict you will be happy at the following schools:  none.

What you are looking for probably doesn't exist.  Have you talked to kids at HSC?  Talk to a lot of them and ask them about drinking.  Honestly, there are kids at every school who don't drink.  Does the school offer a substance free dorm?

Also talk to students about studying and how seriously they take it.  You can always be as serious as you want.

Remember, admissions folks are selling the school.  Actual students can tell you their opinions on what really goes on.  Spend some time there.

I want to reiterate what a PP said.  Studying the classics doesn't not mean it is automatically a conservative school.  People study the classics at schools that are more liberal leaning.  I knew several people who did the classics at my very liberal SLAC.

You won't find a school that checks all the boxes.  Find one that checks the most important boxes for you.

TBH, I think you should have spent more time working on your grades in high school so you could get into a better school.  That would have been far more helpful than spending time on a message board with a target audience of parents.

I'm sorry I sound harsh, but look at the schools honestly.  You might even learn to accept someone with more liberal views than you.  We don't bite, you know.  College is an experience on all sorts of levels.  Being only among "your kind" is a little limiting.  I guarantee you will meet liberal people in the real world (after college) and it will be fine.[/quote]
