It’s true that Dartmouth is one of the most conservative of the ivies, but that doesn’t mean that it’s hard core conservative. From what I heard the student body seems to be 50/50 liberal/conservative. Yes, it’s one of the most conservative ivies because look at the others. Brown (liberal) Columbia (liberal) Cornell (supposedly not extremely liberal, but still liberal) Harvard (liberal) Yale (liberal) Princeton (not sure) Penn (not sure, probably a similar political climate to Dartmouth’s). But let’s look at what’s important. If you are liberal and attend Dartmouth, you will by no means be spat upon because of it because A. A nice percentage of the students are liberal B. Dartmouth isn’t the kind of place where the political climate can get to you in a bad way. I hope I answered your question.
