<p>Notre Dame, Princeton</p>

<p>My Gues would be:</p>

<p>Puhlease people we all know Brown is a breeding ground for conservatives</p>

<p>Vandy is moderate? um, ok.</p>

<p>Anyways, Notre Dame.</p>

<p>In recent years, Vanderbilt has more liberals than conservatives. But the student body is split around 50/50.</p>

<p>I'm told emory is quite liberal actually</p>

<p>I'd check out the following:
-Princeton
-Vanderbilt
-Duke
-Dartmouth
-UPenn
-Cornell
-Rice
-Notre Dame</p>

<p>*Most of these schools are liberal but compared to other schools in the T-20 I think you would find more conservative students.</p>

<p>Notre Dame is the most conservative. Dartmouth leans right too. </p>

<p>Vandy is moderate. It's an equal mix of conservatives and liberals, but is becoming increasingly more left-leaning. Emory is liberal. I wouldn't call either of the two strongly conservative, despite being in the south.</p>

<p>Why/how is Dartmouth more right-leaning than Vandy? NH is left-leaning and the whole NE is left-leaning. Perhaps Dartmouth is more right-leaning than Brown but I don't see how Dartmouth's student body can be so different from Harvard, Columbia or Brown when they share so many cross-applicants and how it can be more right-leaning than any school in the south such as Vandy.</p>

<p>Notre Dame. The others are moderate to, in the case of Brown, almost absurdly liberal. </p>

<p>Almost. You can never be absurdly liberal. :p</p>

<p>Dartmouth has always been known for being the more right-leaning Ivy. I never said it was fully conservative, just that it leans that way. NH as a state has nothing to do with it, as the vast majority of students are OOS, and even then, NH has voted red quite a bit in elections.</p>

<p>In the past, I would have said that Vandy was just as conservative (if not more so), but the administration has been really set on diversifying the student body and creating a more open minded atmosphere - they're replacing the booming population of southern kids with more students from diverse backgrounds in the NE and the west. Hence, it's becoming quite more liberal.</p>

<p>I didn't say you said it was fully conservative. I am just not convinced Dartmouth "leans right" while Vandy is "moderate". I actually vaguely remember slipper said 80% of Dartmouth's students voted Kerry though it's very possible that's just my imagination (lol!). I am not disagreeing with you however as I don't know much about them. I am just skeptical based on intuition and common sense.</p>

<p>Dartmouth is liberal. But not crazy-liberal like Brown/Columbia.</p>

<p>So whats the most conservative ivy, princeton?</p>

<p>There are no conservative schools among the top 25. Among the Ivies, only Princeton can be considered remotely conservative and even that's debateable. The other Ivies, including Dartmouth and Penn, are liberal. </p>

<p>That said, there are several schools among the top 50 where liberal students do not outnumber conservative students and even if they do, it is only by a small margin. Those schools are:</p>

<p>Boston College
Colgate University
College of the Holy Cross
Duke University
Georgetown University
Hamilton College
Lehigh University
Princeton University
University of Notre Dame
University of Southern California
University of Virginia
Vanderbilt University
Wake Forest University
Washington and Lee University</p>

<p>Some schools are primarily liberal but have a sizeable conservative element. Schools such as:
Amherst College
Claremont McKenna College
Colby College
Dartmouth College
Davidson Colege
Emory University
Harvard University
Johns Hopkins University
Northwestern University
Stanford University
Tufts University
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill
University of Pennsylvania
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Yale University</p>

<p>Notre Dame</p>

<p>UVa's not in the USNEWS top 20 (should be), but it is conservative.</p>

<p>CMC is a top 20 LAC which is pretty conservative as well.</p>
