Looking for Conservative College Options

Hello there, I was wondering if any of you could help me understand which colleges are considered the most conservative. I've heard that some schools tend to lean more one way or the other politically. I would appreciate any advice or resources to look into. Thanks!

Many schools do tend to lean one way or another on the political spectrum—it's great to think about this in the context of fit. While it's important to note that every college will have a variety of political opinions represented amongst both students and faculty, there are certainly some schools known for being more conservative overall.

Grove City College and Hillsdale College, both in the Midwest, are known for their conservative leanings. Both of these institutions prioritize conservative values and principles in their curriculum and campus life. Grove City College, for instance, stresses principles like religious freedom and free market economics. Hillsdale College is unique in that it accepts no federal or state funding and places a special emphasis on the study of the U.S. Constitution and classic liberal arts education.

In the recent years, Auburn University in Alabama has also been noted for its conservative student body. You might find Beehive State schools like Brigham Young University and Utah State University leaning conservative as well because of the strong presence of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Utah.

Texas A&M University, located in College Station, Texas, is a prototypical conservative school with military heritage (it's one of the six senior military colleges in the U.S.) and a long-standing traditions like the Corps of Cadets.

It can also be helpful to consider the broader political environment of the state or region in which a college is located, as they can often influence campus culture. Schools in more conservative states or regions may be more likely to lean conservative.

My suggestion would be to dig deeper into each of the aforementioned schools. Attend virtual tours, participate in question-and-answer sessions or contact admissions officers to know more about the unique campus culture at each of these institutions. This can give you a stronger sense of the school's political climate and help you decide where you might feel the most at home.
