Hamilton vs. Davidson vs. Bates (& waitlists)?

Another poster contradicted my earlier statement that Davidson College leans conservative.

Within the past several years, there were (are ?) private displays of two types of very conservative flags in students’ rooms. One was (is?) the Confederate flag & the other I won’t name because I have not seen it.

A top scholarship winner at Davidson College from outside of the South wanted to leave Davidson College & give up the full ride scholarship due to the very conservative opinions & artifacts. The family asked me to intercede & persuade the student to stay. I refused to do so.

Of course, definitions of liberal, moderate & conservative are somewhat subjective.

And I love Davidson College’s location, setting & campus. And recognize that it is a great school.
