[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is St. Olaf woke?[/quote]

Of the three colleges, St Olaf is the least woke.  Macalester would be the most woke, and Carleton a close second.

FWIW, both Carleton and Macalester have made Princeton Review's lists of Most Liberal Students, Most LGBT+ Friendly colleges, and that list of most tree-hugging granola hippie students (forgot the exact name).  I don't recall ever seeing St Olaf on any of those three lists.

[quote=Anonymous]Can a conservative thrive [at St. Olaf]?[/quote]

Well, that depends on ... a lot of things.  How conservative?  What kind of conservative?  How vocal?  How mature are you?  How well can you handle being challenged and attacked?

Conservatives would be a distinct minority at all three schools.  It's just varying degrees of liberalness.  St Olaf would be more mainstream liberal.  Macalester and Carleton would be closer to the Oberlin / Reed part of the political spectrum.  At Carleton, if you love Bernie, AOC, Zohran, you would be pretty much in the political center of mass.  If you think those people aren't liberal enough, then Macalester is for you.  If think they're a little too liberal for your taste, then you'd likely be most at home at St Olaf.
