<p>If conservatism is really important to you, it’s probably worth noting that you can’t find a college much more liberal than NYU. The housing form asks if your gender is “male, female, transgender, or ‘no identification’” (or something to that effect). If you can cope with people who have unusual lifestyles that might not jive with your religious views, it’s a fantastic school with amazing people…and since it’s quite large, I’m sure there are some conservatives there. But do understand that people at NYU are very accepting of homosexuality, amongst other things that many religious people consider “sins.” You wouldn’t be excluded as a conservative, though!</p>
