Pretty much every Ivy League school, pretty much every LAC in the Northeast, University of Michigan Ann Arbor...
A better question is which conservative colleges exist, at least outside the Southeast. Liberal is definitely the rule, not the exception, on college campuses in general.

I wouldn't say all the Ivy's are liberal, that's a pretty sweeping statement.
I think Colgate's pretty conservative, as is Washington and Lee.

| Which ones aren't? Dartmouth used to be middle-of-the-road, but that has changed significantly in the past 5-10 years or so. Columbia, Brown, and Yale are among the most liberal colleges in the country. Princeton and Cornell are less vocal about it, but the attitude is certainly there. The only ones you could make an argument about are Penn and Harvard, IMO, but even then, a survey of political views of the students and faculty would show an obvious liberal leaning.

University of Oregon is called the 'mini-Berkeley' for being extremely liberal.
