Some people are only familiar with southern schools and don’t realize that the straw hat/fancy dress/corsage stuff is a regional thing. Most of the country would think Tech leans conservative.

My husband went to W&L and didn’t realize how much of an old south vibe it had until we did college visits for our son in other parts of the country.

I wish more colleges were moderate/moderate right. I think colleges are so busy doing social justice BS that they are failing to focus on education and skills needed for industry. I welcome colleges that look at education as having an obligation to provide results. There are conservative values - the leftists never talk about actual education at these schools. I would not call the religious schools conservative in that sense, the are wacko right, their own little factions of religious extremism.


This is what you think is happening at colleges--not what actually is. Kids are learning more in-depth research skills across all the disciplines more than they ever have. That's what I see as key to a college education. They can pick up industry-specific skills as needed if they have core disciplinary understandings and research skills.

We were just there. It wasn’t any more conservative or liberal than any other school. Plenty of different groups - everyone can find their place.

This is an absolute lie. Do you have any idea how transparent your trolling is?


You will see them at both, tbh


Again: an absolute lie. I'm very familiar with both schools. Sounds like you just have a huge chip on your shoulder because you and/or your kids didn't get into either school.
