<p>252525, nope, I’m not affiliated with admissions in any way, but I do try to help (via internet, haha) as many prospective students as I can. I relied on this forum a lot when I was applying, and since I’m only a freshman, it wasn’t long ago at all that I was having these same questions and worries. That being said, I realize how important it is to have someone that can give a realistic point of view on things.</p>
<p>This particular issue (“Will I fit in on this campus with opposite political views?”) is an important one to me, though, because it was a big deal when I decided where to go. I’m conservative, and was accepted to… a particular well-known liberal arts school up north I’ll leave unnamed that was great academically and gave me awesome financial aid, but very, well… liberal. I kept trying to get student’s perspectives on whether or not I would feel like a total outcast, and I felt like everybody was lying to me or just avoiding the question. So, I came here instead, and I’m very happy I did.</p>
