Pepperdine. Although despite the Christian moniker a poll of students in the 2023 elections had Kamala up 65%.

One would think so. Unfortunately the progressive left has forgotten this. Statistics show they are the most intolerant, and now 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. 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.

It is a huge red flag that you think anyone should be tracking the voting records of university professors. Jesus.
Exactly where did the PP state anything of the sort? We all know that college faculty generally leans liberal. Is this somehow news to you?

Stop calling CMC conservative. It is more center/center left/left leaning than anything else. They surveyed their current students and only a quarter identified as either center-right or right: center-right (17%), right (6%) and far right (0%). In contrast, the majority was left/center left or far left with students identifying as left (27%), center-left (26%) and far left (6%). Centrist was 13%.

thank you - I was saying this on the other thread! there's a tiny but vocal right-wing crew that makes a lot of noise but they are not popular. center-right folks do fine there but majority is clearly left or center-left.
Looking at those percentages, it's clear there's a tiny but vocal *left-wing* crew that makes a lot of noise but is not popular.

Huh? "Left" is 27%, the biggest group. In contrast "Right" is only 6%. "Center Left" is 26% and "center right" is 17%. "Far Left" is 6% and "Far Right" is 0.
I don't know what your agenda is or why you can't seem to count.
You have just repeated exactly what I said so it seems you can't read. Meaning, there is a 6% Far Left contingent and 0% Far Right. So who do you think the most vocal of those two groups are?

Yes, along with most other schools in TX (excluding Rice and UT). Add big southern state schools- LSU, Ole Miss, Alabama, Oklahoma, Arkansas.

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.

I think in most of the states where the land grant and flagship are separate, the land grant is more conservative.
UT vs Texas A&M
UNC vs NC State
U of SC vs Clemson?
Not Cornell. (Although SUNY flagships probably liberal too)

I'm sorry. You think today's conservatives are open to meeting new people and learning new things? Where?
