<p>I'm hoping someone can suggest some conservative colleges for my daughter to consider that aren't necessarily "Christian"?</p>
<p>By that I mean that my daughter isn't interested in attending chapel, or having a dress code, or anything of that nature, but then, by the same token, she isn't looking for a liberal "anything goes" college atmosphere either.</p>
<p>Can someone suggest some colleges for her to look at?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>socially conservative or politically conservative? or both?</p>
<p>Btw...we live in Virginia, if that counts for anything.</p>
<p>How conservative are James Madison, UVA, William & Mary and Virginia Tech? (Four in-state schools that my daughter is considering).</p>
<p>Thanks again!</p>
<p>I'd say more on the socially conservative side, if one can have a preference!</p>
<p>Are you in Virginia?</p>
<p>University of Virginia is comparatively conservative from what I understand about it.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info on UVA! </p>
<p>Keep 'em coming! :)</p>
<p>I'd say Georgetown is pretty conservative, and despite it being a Jesuit school, I don't think its really overpowering if that is not your thing.</p>
<p>Although Georgetown may have been a religious school, I think that is a thing of the past. I have a cousin who went there, and I have heard that Georgetown is not conservative.</p>
<p>St. Olaf College, William and Mary, Notre Dame . . . .</p>
<p>Or you might want to think about the University of Chicago. Although not conservative, it has a middle-of-the-road feel that I, as a Christian and a conservative, find inviting.</p>
<p>Auburn
Babson
Baylor

<p>Maybe Washington and Lee would be a good choice.</p>
<p>a lot of places like Georgetown and Leigh are conservative but arent necessarily a big "christian" school despite the fact they are affiliated with something.</p>
<p>i would also consider washington and lee and really any school in the south.</p>
<p>Texas A&M is pretty conservative, i believe.</p>
<p>Georgetown, Holy Cross, Davidson, Colgate, Notre Dame and maybe Duke and Dartmouth. Holy Cross and Davidson are both very good LAC's with tremendous school spirit and alumni networks.</p>
<p>i wouldnt recommend any school that has a big frat scene</p>
<p>I must recommend Davidson, as others have. I forgot about that one before. Excellent school . . . .</p>
<p>University of Alabama at Birmingham.</p>
<p>JMU is definitely conservative. One of my best friends was about as conservative as you can get and he loves it there. </p>
<p>Davidson is a great choice. Conservative, but not in-your-face religious or political views. Duke would also be a good choice- the faculty has a decidedly liberal slant, but the overall feel is much more conservative than Brown, Wesleyan, Bard, etc. Vanderbilt would also be worth looking into.</p>
<p>What kind of college does she want? I could suggest Bowdoin or Haverford, for example, but these are out if she doesn't want a LAC or to go far from home.</p>
<p>Claremont McKenna--its statistically balanced. but its known for its conservativeness.. is that even a word?</p>
<p>Notre Dame</p>
<p>I'd also recommend Notre Dame- yes, its Catholic, but there is no dress code or mandatory chapel attendance. Also Colgate and UVA.</p>
