Feeling out of place at college

I’ll look into transfer option during winter break if things don’t get better. We have a conservative union. I am thinking about joining them next week, but I have heard that a lot of conservatives here have to pretend to be liberal so they can keep their friends. My concern about joining the conservative union is that I’ll be limited to only being friends with them. I’ve never viewed my self as conservative, but I view my self as one here.
