<p>And then there are real moral values like waterboarding and theft of retirement funds.</p>
<p>One of the best parts of college life is the immoral behavior that takes place. </p>
<p>Seriously, if you are a true bible beater then go to a conservative school and study theology. Otherwise, go to a college in an area conducive to your wants/needs, that has your intended course of study and has a diverse student body… you will find people to bond with.
Do not deny the possibility for growth in a different direction… you are not the person you will be forever at 18 or 19 years old… a lot changes!</p>
<p>I gather that the OP wants to steer a course between going to a conservative school to study theology, and going to a school that somehow fosters (or at least tolerates) the behavior described in the link from post #40.</p>
<p>I don’t think I’m going too far out on a limb to suggest that, at any of the schools he is beginning to consider seriously (NU, Chicago, WUSTL), that behavior would be out of character. At most highly selective colleges, including schools with a reputation for being politically liberal, even people who disagree strongly with the OP’s views would tend to agree (perhaps for different reasons) that something is seriously wrong with the concept of putting scantily clad freshman women up for bid at an annual date auction. Though it’s been a while since I was in college. Am I wrong?</p>
<p>I could imagine something like the date auction possibly occurring in a spirit of parody at some such school. Even that’s a stretch though, to my imagination.</p>

<p>The Morehouse School of Medicine is the controlling agent of American conservatism?! :)</p>
<p>BTW, agreed - truly educated conservatives and liberals who are at #9 are the best hope for the well-being of our society and we need them both. But they don’t tend to generate good talk-show ratings so the mass of society is left to be influenced by loud nitwits who speak to them at #2.</p>
