[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know much about Colby, but my nephew is at Middlebury and he told me the student population is very,very liberal. Not sure it would be the best fit for your right of center son, unless they are open to other political views and comfortable being in a very, very tiny minority.[/quote]
Econ students at these liberal arts colleges tend to have a bunch of conservative men. They're just hush hush in intro to sociocultural anthro, but they stick together for clear reasons.[/quote]

Why would you want to go to Midd if you have to be hush hush about your views? Not worth spending all that money and 4 years. Go to a school with a better fit like Colgate, Duke, etc.[/quote]

OP here - newsflash - most athletes at SLACs lean right.  My DC has a close friend at Wes who reported majority of athletes are mostly MAGA - and frosh year (in 2020) were heavily persecuted for their beliefs. Even the apolitical athletes were assumed to be Trumpers - sure Middlebury is the same - granola lefties raging at the world while the MAGA athletes party and have fun, and land $125k+ jobs..[/quote]

Hijacking the thread here. How does your DC's friend find Wes? My kid is very interested. [/quote]

very very cliquish - if you fit one of the cliques, can be a very fun place.  Athletes, theatre, raging liberals, goth stoners, music (top ethno-music department), alternative lifestyle, frat bros (where athletes cross team lines) outdoors enthusiast/hiking, international.. the list goes on - for a school this size, many many groups - but you better belong to one[/quote]

Is there one for... regular suburban kids? [/quote]
