Conservative at Brown?

I agree with chsowlflax17. I’m registered as Independent and consider myself slightly conservative (by national standards, not Brown ones). I personally don’t really like to discuss political views (even with those who tend to share mine), so I tend to keep quiet. My friends know that I’m substantially more conservative than most of them, they don’t have much of a problem about it (they do their best to avoid Republican bashing while I’m near them) and respect my desire to avoid talking about political viewpoints.

Not everyone is like this. I had much more trouble with some of the more socially and politically active people on campus (not all, of course). Some people of all political viewpoints are extremely insensitive at times. There are, however, enough people of the other sort (as well as people with conservative viewpoints) that avoiding these ones shouldn’t cause too many problems.
