<p>The title speaks for itself. I am a strong conservative student, (politics mostly though, not really socially :) ) but regardless I want to know if conservatives have any choice of getting along here or are they repressed by liberal-leftist professors?</p>
<p>You'd probably have to be prepared for many passionate debates if you're very vocal about your political stances. That would be true for most liberal arts colleges though. I can see that you're looking at FDU, Fordham, and FIT also, and I can tell you that it would be true at any of those institutions too (I'm from NY). </p>
<p>I think a lot of students welcome that debate though. I know that I don't want people to just blindly agree with me and love a healthy debate. The issue would be that if you're the type of person who can't deal with most people disagreeing with you, you probably won't be happy amongst a mainly liberal population. However, there is an active Republican Club, and I've spoken to several conservative-leaning students, and they seem happy with MHC. </p>
<p>So, to sum it up, you wouldn't be completely alone, and you could be happy and social, but there's no doubt that you'd be in the minority.</p>
<p>thanks for your opinion! i understand that while many, many universities lean to the left I was hoping I wouldnt be completely swallowed into their ideals. Are you a student at MHC and do you like it?</p>
<p>You're welcome. I'm a transfer student who has done A LOT of research on the college and talks to current students on a regular basis hehe. I can let you know how I like it in the fall though. :)</p>
<p>I don't think you need to be overwhelmed by anyone's ideals. If you have good logic backing up your beliefs, people will respect you for that. Like I said, if you want to debate politics, you can, but you'd have to be okay with many people debating different points. I don't think you have to be worried about needing to change your beliefs to be accepted socially or anything, if that's your concern. Actually, McKay Yancey, the president of the republican club, seems really well-liked.</p>
