I’m telling you I am in tight with a group of Davidson alums and they are some of the most liberal and least conservative folks I know. One of them is religious and most of them are flaming atheists and Democrats and socialists. I have two relatives that went there and know a kid who is there now. It’s not the most liberal school in the country but it’s a far cry from conservative. In the 80s Davidson students joined the protests against apartheid by building a shanty town on campus. I don’t think that is Furman’s vibe. I think Wake Forest is also more conservative and business-oriented than Davidson which is a real LAC.
I had a really unpleasant interaction with anti-masker Covid conspiracy nuts in Greenville and won’t go back there. Furman is too close to Greenville for me. I’d take Davidson any day.
