The other day there was a thread on the Wall Street Journal’s recently released college rankings. People without a subscription were unable to view the full list/details, but the link that was shared also had some sidebars listing the top 10 schools in various categories. You can either follow the original poster’s link to read the whole article or this post provides a bit of a summary of the articles mentioned.
Anyway, I brought that up because a number of the schools that made the sidebar lists (top 10 publics, top 10 prep for career, top 10 recommended) were schools that tend to be more conservative friendly. Those schools included Davidson (#10 on the list overall), Claremont McKenna, Hampden-Sydney, Washington & Lee, Samford, and Benedictine, among others.
