Sorry but taking off on an old thread from 2001. My 17 year old is a senior and going off to college next september. We live in the Rio Grande Valley Texas and we are visiting Hillsdale College in Southern Michigan in 2 weeks. Does anyone have any other Suggestions for a conservative College? Thanks in advance.

I thought the University of Virginia wasn't too bad. My daughter graduated from there back in 2001; and by now I've sat in on 50 classes or more there. It's nice to be at a place where almost everyone refers to our third President as "Mr. Jefferson."

St. Vincent College, Latrobe, PA. I attended that school longer ago than I care to admit, but I'm glad that I did. The National Review used to (and may still publish) a book on schools that provide a more conservative education, with SVC being one of the schools profiled in that guide. SVC also has been one of the schools ranked in the popular Best Colleges guide, for what that is worth. I would definitely recommend taking a look at their website.

Two other small colleges to consider are Wheaton College in Illinois, and Grove City College in Pennsylvania. A larger university to consider is Brigham Young (but understand that it’s Mormon) in Utah.

My oldest daughter is a junior at the U of Dallas, I highly recommend it. excellent academics, a wonderful Rome program and conservative, as well as authentically Catholic.

My wife and I have worked at 3 very different public universities. The land grant ones tend to be slightly more conservative, but that can change as the administration changes (our current one is fast moving to the left).

Stay away from liberal arts colleges in general.

David Lipscomb Nashville.

I think ACU closer to you is fairly conservative as is University of Dallas.

But forget all that....go to Ole Miss for the girls

or SMU...get a rich girl whose daddy will adopt you...and she will likely be hot too

I have heard that Indiana Wesleyan (sp?) - believe it’s in Marion, Indiana - is one of the most conservative in the nation as well.

I’ve actually heard good things about George Wyeth College in Utah — but I can’t recommend them as I’ve not done much research into their program or beliefs.

My top 4:

Patrick Henry College, VA
Hillsdale College, MI
Grove City College, PA
Liberty University, VA
