[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Define conservative. By definition, education learning new things, new approaches, meeting new people and ideas tends to be a liberal tenet. [/quote]

One would think so. Unfortunately the progressive left has forgotten this. Statistics show they are the most intolerant, and now [b]Democrats are more likely to refuse to date or be friends with conservatives and boasts of cutting off family and old friends over views is much more common on the left than the right.[/b] So I'd be careful in making these kinds of assumptions. Any pragmatic person who's been through the elite Ivory tower knows they are the most ideologically rigid and unforgiving of any higher education institutions.

I don't know what OP is looking for, but it she or he is looking for the old fashioned concept of liberal, aka a genuine tolerance of diversity of viewpoints, best places are probably the big state universities and southern schools. Faculty will be D voters but students are all across the spectrum with minimal pressure to hide their views. [/quote]

I always shake my head at these statements. Why should you date someone you don’t have anything in common with or be friends with someone who doesn’t respect you?  Common values and mutual respect are like the bare minimum for a relationship.  I also think these which universities are conservative versus not don’t give the true picture.  Most schools with people with money are going to have a decent number of conservatives and schools in the Bible Belt are going to have  a decent number of conservatives. These days it’s hard to tell who is kissing the ring because  they feel like they can be out loud and proud and who is doing so because they buckled- but the end result is the same either way.
