<p>Liberals seem to dominate each. </p>
<p>Princeton seems to have the highest percentage of conservatives, thereby making it the most balanced of the Ivys.</p>
<p>Harvard is loaded with "Cambridge liberals".</p>
<p>Brown's curriculum draws _______.</p>
<p>etc.
etc.</p>
<p>What do you think?</p>
<p>Dartmouth is more conservative than Princeton.</p>
<p>In general liberals overwhelmingly outnumber conservatives at all the ivies with the possible exception of D-mouth....this is pretty much the case with all elite northeastern colleges,not just the ivies, liberals have infested them-or least they are more vocal.</p>
<p>There's nothing remotely conservative about Dartmouth anymore. They have that reputation because The Dartmouth Review has produced some conservative luminaries, and they like picking public fights with the administration.</p>
<p>Nothing scientific here. But I'd group them this way:</p>
<p>-Princeton and Dartmouth most conservative, only by comparison
-Cornell and Penn next (lots of pre-professionals at Cornell and Penn has Wharton influence)
-Columbia
-then Harvard, Yale
-Brown, most liberal, grouped with Wesleyan, Oberlin, etc</p>
<p>I generally agree with 2331clk's rankings. </p>
<p>Driver, I meant from a relative standpoint, Dartmouth is the most conservative ivy. Like I said before, all the ivies and other elite northeastern colleges are liberal in general....this is just comparing them relative to each other.</p>
<p>jwblue, you're wrong...Dartmouth is not conservative at all.</p>
<p>I found Cornell to be conservative by my views, Dartmouth may be considered conservative because of its newspaper's history.</p>
<p>Xanatos,</p>
<p>How can you quantify the "conservativness" of Dartmouth? Surely, Dartmouth is more conservative than Harvard or Brown. Listen, I'm not saying Dartmouth is conservative along the lines of some bible college in South Carolina since it clearly isn't..this all only relative to the group its being compared with. </p>
<p>By the way, Dartmouth is the only ivy in a red state.</p>
<p>Xanatos, assume you're D student. It's all relative.</p>
<p>I think it comes from the fraternity presence at Dartmouth. Right or wrong frats are associated with being conservative in general. I realize D is diverse enough so you can do your own thing minus the frat scene but D does have this party rep partly because of the remote location.</p>
<p>Brown
Harvard
Yale
Columbia
Penn
Cornell
Dartmouth
Princeton</p>
<p>... the last two are actually more tied, I would say.</p>
<p>Despite its many wonderful aspects, Dartmouth is one of the most obnoxiously PC places on the planet. And there is no such thing as an Ivy League school that can be called "conservative" by any stretch or comparison, including all of their graduate schools. The only deviation from the left-wing norm of the Ivies is Brown, which is even more lefty-liberal than the other seven. Relatively speaking.</p>
<p>The Dartmouth Review is a true classic, the oldest and most famous conservative student paper in the country, with alumni including Laura Ingraham and Dinesh D'souza. But Dartmouth doesn't even acknowledge it as a student organization....it is actively harassed by the administration, and receives no funding from the college. The Review even has to publish off campus. Kind of ironic that they nevertheless have such stature that they can get the whole college labeled "conservative." If you have some superficial concerns about preppies and polo shirts equating with "conservative" then go to Wesleyan or Oberlin.</p>
<p>On any campus, you're going to find both conservatives and liberals, whether they be professors or students, and plenty of good debate between the two sides. I'm sure whereas the poli sci dept. in any of these universities might be more liberal, the econ dept. might be more conservative. But I agree that in general Brown is probably the most liberal of the Ivies.</p>

<p>"By the way, Dartmouth is the only ivy in a red state."</p>
<p>But all the Ivies are in a red country.</p>
<p>PWNED</p>
<p>Dude... you just got owned yourslef by saying "pwned."</p>
<p>Tsk tsk...</p>
<p>I believe PWNED is the proper term.</p>
<p>"But all the Ivies are in a red country."</p>
<p>I thank God every day for that.</p>
<p>"Wow...after that, I am not even going to dignify the rest of that with a response."</p>
<p>Nobody here cares for your response...I understand red state doesn't mean red college esp. since Dmouth is by and large not from NH, but I never implied anything by the comment, though its still a fact.</p>
<p>The most hilarious thing so far about getting old is that I can remember when "red" used to refer to communism. When even a color has become a horse of a different color I know I have become truly ancient.</p>
<p>Yet the more things change, the more they stay the same. People still insult one another by calling them "red". They just mean something different by it.</p>
<p>OK...</p>
<p>My point was, if you can't get your facts straight about something as simple as that, you have no right even arguing about anything else. Who are you, anyway? Do you even go to any of these schools about which you pretend to know so much? Nobody here cares for my response, but I go to one of them and I went to high school about 5 minutes away from another. So how about you clam up like a good little boy (or girl, whichever you may be).</p>
<p>It doesn't matter, but NH was red in 2000...</p>
