What are the most conservative and most liberal schools?

<p>i hear UC Santa Cruz is one of the more liberal colleges out there.</p>

<p>Ok, I know that most colleges are liberal, for example, you can say: I've heard Oberlin, Vassar, NYU, Ivy league etc. is liberal. However, I was under the impression that we weren't discussing which colleges are liberal (becuz we culd name about a thousand) but which colleges are the MOST liberal. Remember that when posting.</p>

<p>I would say that Reed, Oberlin, Sarah Lawrence, and Wesleyan are CRAZY liberal. Even the predominate style of dress on those campuses is rather hippy-ish. Those schools are so liberal that being even MILDLY conservative on one or two issues would be enough for me to warn you to stay away, or keep your mouth shut. But if you do consider yourself very liberal, artsy, and individual, they may be great matches for you! Like any school, the stereotype won't hold true for absolutely everyone.</p>

<p>Cornell is liberal. Ohio state has a lot of both.</p>

<p>I think that all colleges are mostly moderate, but liberal. It mostly depends on geography and the social status of the people who go there. Expect NYU, Boston C, University of Miami and Berkley and UCLA to be ultra liberaland University of Texas to be conservative. Red state/blue state</p>

<p>Texas A&M is one of the most conservative</p>

<p>At least one northern liberal arts college is very conservative - Hillsdale in Michigan. They don't accept federal funding.</p>

<p>Smith College is liberal.</p>

<p>I wrote a set of perl scripts to query aggregate "political stance" data from thefacebook.com blah blah blah blah...of the many schools I ran it for (I didn't do all) Vassar came up as the most liberal, Smith was a close second.</p>

<p>Houston Baptist university was the most conservative, followed closely by Westpoint. Sadly, Bob Jones University does not have facebook (they probably consider it satanic or something)</p>

<p>Conservative: Patrick Henry College in VA

<p>washinington and lee is conservative.... i think.</p>

<p>UC Berkeley and Stanford for Liberal. =]</p>

<p>I feel like I am answering questions calling for specific types of universities the same way every time! You also need to take into consideration that some shcools will have a conservative student body and liberal profs/admin, or liberal students and a (somewhat) conservative admin. But in general.......</p>

<p>Conservative: Hillsdale, Washington and Lee, Liberty, Bob Jones, UVA, Furman, Ole Miss, Auburn, Swanee, Elon, William Jewel, Denison, DePauw, Purdue, Wabash, Notre Dame, Colgate, Colby, and even some schools in California, like Pepperdine.</p>

<p>Liberal: NYU, Yale, Harvard, MIT, Wesleyan, Ohio Wesleyan, Vassar, Rice, Reed, Swarthmore, UCLA, Berkley, Berklee, Oberlin, McAllister, Ithaca, Cornell, and on, and on</p>

<p>I will agree with Crayon and say that Bob Jones University is the MOST conservative school. I know someone who got expelled from there for going to the movies.</p>

<p>I heard someone at BJU was almost expelled for reading Nietzsche.</p>

<p>LMFAO

<p>BYU is crazy-conservative
and I think Bob Jones isn't a good enough school for facebook to add it...</p>

<p>they would probably ban the site :D</p>

<p>Bringham Young is pretty conservative...mormons are a pretty conservative group.
The most liberal college that I have any exprience with is Cornell...they're practically socialists</p>

<p>OMG THIS PLACE IS CRAZY. </p>

<p>from BJU website:
Abercrombie & Fitch and its subsidiary Hollister have shown an unusual degree of antagonism to the name of Christ and an unusual display of wickedness in their promotions. In protest, we will not allow articles displaying their logos to be worn, carried, or displayed (even if covered or masked in some way).</p>
