<p>Which colleges or universities are the most conservative (or just conservative) ones? Because I'm having hard time deciding between colleges and I really don't wanna go to a conservative place. But I'm not sure which colleges are liberal cos I'm an international. So can you help me???</p>
<p>The University of California, Berkeley stands out as the most shining example of liberalism in the US.</p>
<p>HOWEVER, you have to keep in mind that colleges in America are filled with idealistic young people like you and I, and this invariably breeds liberalism. At almost any university you go to, you'll be able to find a healthy contingent of students that share your mindset.</p>
<p>What schools are you thinking of applying to?</p>
<p>Go to page 5 of this forum to "right wing schools"....</p>
<p>My first choice will be Harvard, which's my dream school. I'm also looking to Pomona, Cornell, Lafayette, Brandeis, Wesleyan, and some safeties like Hamilton and Gettysburg. But I had no chance to go to the u.s. this summer to look at these colleges due to my family health problems :(</p>
<p>I looked at page 5 of this forum, so I guess the most conservative (or republican?) colleges are in the south and I'll be fine in California or the Northeast (??)</p>
<p>You should really look at please like Bob Jones University.</p>
<p>Very few universities are truly conservative. Some are relatively conservative, but even those are not far from center. What are your credentials like? What is your intended major? Do you have a particular setting you like?</p>
<p>Bob Jones University is ridiculously conservative and religious.</p>
<p>The only conservative school in the top 20 are Notre Dame and Vanderbilt, and those are about 50/50. Washington Lee is the sole conservative school among the top LACs.</p>
<p>Just a piece of advice: </p>
<p>do not look for "conservative" or "liberal" schools, per se. I am a conservative attending a very liberal school. However, the school I chose has a very interesting, innovative and vocal minority of conservatives as a regular presence on campus. </p>
<p>Look for a "good" school. Then of those schools see which ones have an active conservative voice/community. Not necessarily to be an active part of it, but because you are far more likely to have something of a smoother ride, as a conservative amongst a herd of liberals, where they are used to hearing conservative opinions without shouting them down. You will be something of a sly sheepdog on a hill listening to their clanking bells ringing though-out the valley ;)</p>
<p>Conversely, you will not find very many liberals interested in digging in at conservative campuses either.</p>
<p>Those who recommend the likes of Bob Jones or Patrick Henry will only do so over the clamor of their own single-pitched bells banging and clanging from both their left sides (note: not indicative of most liberals).</p>
<p>Yeah, I've been to Washington and Lee and it was a really strange place.</p>
<p>all of the top universities (as per the USNews rankings) are fairly liberal, with the exception of Notre Dame.</p>
<p>W&L is not a strange place, just a traditional one.</p>
<p>yep i know but it still felt strange</p>
<p>haha well it would feel weird to someone looking at wesleyan and brandeis. great schools, but polar opposites in many ways to W&L.</p>
<p>In what sense are they so opposite?</p>
