It is more conservative, in that the dorms are single sex and there are parietals (curfew for when opposite sex can be in dorm). As for politically conservative, it is almost exactly 50-50 between Dem-Rep, which is actually conservative compared to other “top schools,” but not atypical for Catholic schools.</p>

Do any colleges have abortions on campus? Anyway, obviously no Catholic schools are doing this, so it doesn’t play into which is “conservative,” which typically means rules with respect to the opposite sex and the leanings of the students on issues like social justice (odd, since it’s a core tenet of the Church).</p>
<p>It is true. The elite in new england do consider themselves different from those in Iowa and Ohio. Then again, they aren’t wrong in thinking that.</p>
The “elite” (read: rich) everywhere consider themselves different from others, and people in all regions consider themselves different from people in others. Unless you think that everyone in New England is “elite,” in which case you are ignorant of a very large working class.</p>
<p>My Wife and I are looking for a Conservative Catholic College for our daughter. Any suggestions? Anyone know anything about Stubenville college?</p>
<p>Steubenville has been renamed … Franciscan U., I believe. The only thing I know about FU (ouch) is that Scott Hahn is on the faculty. He is a very articulate conservative convert to Catholicism.</p>
<p>dj4: If you’ve read this thread, you’ll find that different people have different definitions of “conservative.” If you’re looking for a school that teaches what the Catholic Church teaches, and where most of the students are Catholic and agree with/try to follow those teachings, then I suggest you look at The Newman Guide to Choosing a Catholic College. It has profiles of 21 different schools, including some of those mentioned on this thread.</p>
