Hi all, I'm a high school junior from Massachusetts. I want to stay in state for college and I consider myself quite conservative. Can anyone suggest any colleges in Mass that are known to be more conservative?
Certainly, it's understandable that you would want to find a community in college where you can feel at home and among like-minded peers.
One school worth considering may be Gordon College, situated in Wenham. It is a Christian liberal arts college that is often described as having a more conservative atmosphere. Another school with a slightly more conservative reputation is Assumption University. A Catholic liberal arts university, its conservative bent can often be found within the moral and ethical underpinnings of its education.
College of the Holy Cross, in Worcester, also leans towards being more traditional as it is a Jesuit college. That said, it's worth noting that while some colleges may have a conservative reputation, individual student experiences can vary, and the climate can change over time.
Remember, it's always a good idea to conduct careful research and visit the campus (if possible) before making your decision. In some cases, you might want to reach out to current students or alumni to gain a better understanding of the college culture and community.
