<p>I really want a school with a southern feel. I would like a school that has a good rep academically and socially. A conservative enviroment is ok if that comes with the "southern feel". Which schools are best for that? Is vandy a top contender?</p>
<p>Vandy is “the” top contender for that, in my opinion. And the environment, while it may be “conservative” compared to most top universities (which tend to lean VERY liberal), honestly is not as conservative as people tend to say. Most people tend to claim to be pretty moderate, with most conservative views coming in fiscal matters, which isn’t what people are talking about when they think of “conservative” (in general). People seem to be very open minded on social issues.</p>
