<p>Ok, I was accepted into GW a week ago. As a diehard conservative, how out of place will I be? I attend classes at Wesleyan University. Is GW as radically left as this place?</p>
<p>I hope not. I am liberal but love a good discussion in the classroom and out. This is one reason I wanted to go east.</p>
<p>It is so very liberal. If you are even leaning moderately I would think twice about this school. Actually, it is so leftist Communism, Socialism, and even Anarchism are taught and praised in many of its classes. </p>
<p>You only want to come to GW if you want to learn how to control government, economics, and people. And in some cases, not even teach civility at all!! </p>
<p>So happy that GW is finally unshackled from the eight-year handcuffs known as the Bush Administration!! We can finally start giving our government and agencies unlimited power and oversight!!</p>
<p>YAY!!</p>
<p>And before anyone gets angry, let me clarify…</p>
<p>I was just taking a shot at your ideological views. Forgive me.</p>
<p>Being a diehard conservative, it will be very hard to find a school that you do not view as ‘radically liberal’. Now I have no idea what the culture is like at Wesleyan, but your comment implied the school should be more unbiased. How about the students?</p>
<p>Maintain your views - you are entitled to them without doubt - but do no throw a label onto something you do not like. </p>
<p>GW, and I am sure as is Wesleyan, is a great school where anyone can fit in.</p>
<p>GW definitely is very liberal, but the College Republicans are a vocal minority. However, keep an open mind; I know people who have switched teams (in both directions) since coming here!</p>
<p>GW is definitely and undeniably liberal, but I imagine - being a politically affiliated school - it has a strong and loud College Republican minority. If you love to debate (and I love to debate), you won’t mind GW as a conservative. But as a hard left, I would not enjoy a conservative school. I’m not sure which would work for you. I think that gwsenior is on the ball with people switching teams. It does happen. It could be an enlightening experience, either strengthening or weakening your current beliefs. With that said, I personally would never go to a school opposite my political beliefs.</p>
<p>bosoxnm3…don’t worry dude there are going to be other conservatives there too, like me. I am actually looking foward to being around all those liberals so I can school them all in a good debate, it’s really not that hard. I don’t think you should not attend because it’s more liberal than conservative. Being a liberal school, it will only strengthen your conservatism, which is good thing as we now have this yahoo for a president.</p>
<p>As opposed to the last yahoo president?</p>
<p>Bravo Vitare! LOL</p>
<p>Another good thing is that we get to be in the center of things four years from now when jindal, Gingrich, Ryan, or whoever is elected.</p>
<p>Yeah I can’t wait 'til the 2012 election especially since it’ll be our senior year. It’s going to be so much fun to see all the obamazombies crying their eyes out when he’s taken out of the oval office.</p>
<p>Well, if Bush got 8 years (or should I say stole?), we should assume Obama would, too. </p>
<p>And who’s going to vote him out, the huge and popular Republican party? Funny …</p>
<p>Sorry, I know this is a sane and friendly forum but I just couldn’t resist.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This thread could definitely turn ugly, though.</p>
<p>I was partially worried that republicans would be a significant majority at GWU I’m glad to hear that that is not the case…For some reason a large amount of people in the Class of 2013 GWU Facebook Forum are Republican, but perhaps that is an anomaly and not representative of the total student body.</p>
<p>My tour guide mentioned that the majority of students are Democrat.</p>
