<p>Take a look at the book “Choosing the Right College 2008-2009: The Whole Truth about America’s Top Schools”. Out of 140 schools, it should have several that fit.</p>
<p>Just about all the Big 10 would qualify. Good sports, engineering, generally conservative. Not too warm on the weather, though.</p>
<p>Clemson, Ga. Tech, Colorado School of Mines, Lehigh.</p>
<p>If your son doesn’t like urban campuses…he won’t like USC, though it fits his other criteria. It’s more centrist than conservative, with a more unique balance than many larger campuses.</p>
<p>If you’re conservative and you know all about conservatism, why are you looking for a “conservative” university? Are you looking to be exposed to anything new or do you just want all your current opinions validated?</p>
<p>So by that logic, gadad, ultra-liberals who feel at home at a school like Grinnell or Mills should be looking for more conservative or “centered” schools to expose themselves to conservative values? </p>
<p>The OP was open to a school with a variety of political views but also wanted a place where her son could find people who share his values and beliefs. While I don’t agree with most of the conservative viewpoint, I think they have as much a right to go to school amongst “their own” as ultra-liberals.</p>
<p>Yea, but conservatives are full of ***** anyway. The deny global warming,are anti-privacy, and are trying to tear this country apart(ie. Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, Jindal).</p>
<p>Second the rec of CHOOSING THE RIGHT COLLEGE–as a nearly-socialist liberal, I found it hilarious (and useful in the reverse).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Sounds like David Horowitz’s nonsense applied to the college search. Oh boy, that book is trouble, and almost certainly misleading. I’d love to read what they have to say about Brown and Case Western (the two schools I know best).</p>
<p>Vanderbilt and Lehigh sounds like great fits.</p>
<p>I’m sure the OP already found somewhere since this is a 3 year old thread.</p>
