<p>Yes – I went to Vanderbilt and went to a competitive HS in New York that sends over 10+ kids to NYU every year. Aside from several close friends and co-workers from NYU, I also have two siblings that went to NYU. I think it is pretty disingenuous to say that you met “plenty” of conservatives at NYU – the college is overwhelmingly liberal and the only way to meet conservatives would be to actively seek them out.</p>

<p>NYU2013, lots of CCers post about looking for conservative colleges – my criticism is that when they do there will always be a poster that tries to sway them away from their preference under the veil of “broadening their horizons”. However, these same posters never sway liberal students to conservative schools so it’s a double standard. I wish you would be more honest about your agenda – you are not idealistically trying to push kids out of their comfort zones, you are just trying to sway students away from conservative colleges.</p>
