<p>As it's been said - cheating is not allowed at any school, but schools with honor codes like Haverford and Davidson go waaayy beyond that. As part of the application process, you have to write essays about why their honor code is important and the effects it could have on your life and those around you, and as a result, the student body at schools like these tends to be different from those at a campus wit "regular" cheating rules. People leave their bikes and dorm rooms unlocked.. if someone finds a $10 bill on the ground, they might tape a note by where they found it and wait for the person who lost it to find them... I've heard stories of things being left out in the rain and someone taking them back to their dorm room, leaving a waterproof note about where they are and why they took them.</p>
<p>Like others have said, what you're looking for is not what most would call an honor code and you will most likely be able to find what you need at a religious school. However, I think that at schools with honor codes like Haverford and Davidson, you would find friends who, although they may not share your opinions on beards or dress codes, would completely and sincerely respect them and do their best to make you feel comfortable.</p>
<p>I would say that any conservative Christian school has a code of conduct, which is what I think the OP is referring to. I've read some where they even prohibit R-rated movies, and only some PG-13 movies are allowed. I've also read some where no pop music, or even contemporary Christian music is allowed... only traditional sacred music. They also define hair length for guys, no piercings for guys, (maybe only one set in the ears of girls), no tattoos, no dancing in many cases. </p>
<p>I'm sorry, but I have a hard time understanding why someone would want to be so sheltered when they know the real world won't be that way, and they will need to make adult decisions for themselves during breaks, summers, and after graduation. It seems like a rather abrupt transition.</p>
<p>Come on, people. The OP is clearly looking for a place with no drinking and reasonably conservative (in behavior, not politics) students. I really don't see how suggesting Dartmouth or UVa is helpful. The schools that I think of:</p>
<p>Brigham Young University
Furman University
St. Olaf College
Wheaton College (IL)</p>
<p>teriwtt, you might be surprised at what goes on at some religious schools. I certainly was when my ex-gf took up belly dancing at BYU. :rolleyes: It's a club there, I think.</p>

. I was referring to most conservative religious schools, and I think some schools allow for dancing as a performing art, or for liturgical dancing, but not social dances per se as most schools host.</p>
<p>i.e. look at the code of conduct at Indiana Wesleyan University. They're not the only school where I've read it's this strict.</p>

<p>I experienced quite a bit of student theft at such a campus. The Honor Codes have a useful impact academically; just don't expect utopia.</p>
<p>There's a lot of confusion here between two types of honor codes - academic and social. Sounds like the OP is looking for a college with a social honor code.</p>
<p>William & Mary invented the Honor Code and it is very important in the schools culture. Any school that has a social code sounds like it doesnt trust its students to make responsible decisions. Like Bob Jones that outlawed blacks/whites dating ( always wondered how they handled Asians?) or Liberty that forbids R-rated movies to be patronized by their students. To me always sounded alittle too much like Hitler Youth than college.</p>
