Conservative at Brown?

OP, I went there ('74, grad '78) and my daughter did too ('01, MS '03)—there was an active Campus Crusade chapter back in my day, and I had many fine friends from their ranks. Still in touch with some of them.

My daughter knew conservative kids too (her major might not have had many of them–computer sci). You won’t be treated harshly and that business about opening doors & stuff that Jindal spouted in that interview is pure bs. He gives Brown a bad name—he is a liar.

I have been back for all kinds of reunions, parent weekends, college visiting for younger daughter this year—and people open doors for everybody, if they get to the door first. If you treat others with respect when you discuss something, you will be given the same. There are some students there who are immature, self centered, and rude, but you will find the same anywhere else (being immature and self centered is not that uncommon among 18 - 22 yr olds!). Don’t worry about nonsense you may hear from people who are not students at the place themselves.

If you are accepted, why don’t you look up the chaplain of whatever denomination you are from, and email them to ask some things about campus life for your religious group? You can ask the Chaplain’s office for the right person to contact.
