<p>That place definitely isn’t for me, but I wouldn’t call it “crazy.” They just have a different set of beliefs than I do. Welcome to America.</p>
<p>I can’t remember the name of the school exactly, but by far the most conservative school was this school in Florida called something like Pensacola College. If you were found being “too social” with a girl, you would be “punished,” which was one of several things, including “isolation” (not allowed to see another person for an entire day) and “shadowing” (following around a faculty member the entire day EVERYWHERE they go, so they can keep an eye on you and so you can see what a “good” person is like or something).</p>
<p>EDIT: found it!! <a href=“http://www.pcci.edu/[/url]”>Page Unavailable · Pensacola Christian College;
<p>No, no, they actually are crazy. There is a difference between having different beliefs and believing that you are the only true way and that all people should adhere to your strict guidelines. All of that while teaching a bunch of unacredited “fluff” majors that mean nothing in the real workd and neglect to teach them free thought.</p>
<p>They are in fact quite crazy at bju.</p>
<p>Patrick Henry on the other hand, is much like bju in the strict rules that essentially say “conservative only” but at least the people there are smart and the majors are acredited (I still dont agree with sheltering the kids through their entire childhood and then sending them to a sheltered college and then expecting them to be the leaders of the country…)</p>
<p>::No, no, they actually are crazy. There is a difference between having different beliefs and believing that you are the only true way and that all people should adhere to your strict guidelines.::</p>
<p>Perhaps you are correct, but that is certainly not limited to very conservative colleges. Very liberal colleges are the same way.</p>
<p>hey hey now…BJU does not believe in freedom of thought, they’re not crazy though. They can very clearly articulate their views, its just that their views are at such anathema to almost everyone in society that we dub them crazy.</p>
<p>That said, to me, they are in fact, LOONY!!</p>
<p>I like this particular quote from their rules</p>
<p>
Dang…you know those games with rock music!! its so evil to play pong with the sounds of guitar in the background…</p>
<p>What I don’t understand is why they don’t allow you to listen to Contemporary Christian music.</p>
<p>What gets me is the “no movie above g”, and no tv’s/dvd/vcr’s…and ifyour computer has a dvd player, you’re not allowed to use it. And daily room inspections? No rock/country/jazz??..AHHHHH!!!</p>
<p>Brigham Young isn’t crazy conservative, although the majority of the people there are pretty conservative. The main conservative things there are you have a couple religion classes you have to take, an honor code you have to live by, and a dress code (no shorts, but my public high school didn’t allow them either, so it’s not much different). So, yes, it is conservative, but I personally know liberals who go there and like it just fine. But, I guess, since I"ll be going there next year I’m a bit biased. :)</p>
<p>No shorts??? Even my private high shcool, which had a pretty strict dress code, allowed shorts…no jeans, but shorts were ok. Even on formal dress days you’d see guys walking around in shirt, tie, shorts, and birkenstocks.</p>
<p>Actually, my high school didn’t allow shorts…but we could wear jeans.</p>
<p>But that’s nothing compared to forbidding “non-filtered internet access and public email” :D</p>
<p>Yeah, that is weird, Bob Jones is pretty out there. And yeah, no shorts at my high school, but we can wear capris.</p>
<p>Pitzer is the most liberal in southern CA.</p>
<p>hey namaste, i like your username, we have a place on campus called the namaste lounge!</p>
<p>i’m a student at uc santa cruz and we’re exceptionally liberal here. my mom likes to compare us to berkeley in the 60’s. supposedly we have a republican club, but i’d be surprised if there are more than 50 members, out of 15000 on campus. seriously.</p>
<p>wow. coming from berkeley, these conservative places seem WACKO. Hell, even hearing you guys going to school with clothing restrictions sounds crazy anal.</p>
<p>Doesn’t the BYU dress code go to more extremes than no shorts? Like hair length? And the honor code also seems pretty strict. Obviously not BJU, but…</p>
<p>Yeah, I think there is something about hair length on guys. They’re allowed to have a little bit longer of hair, but there’s some point where they make them cut it. So, some things are a bit strict there, but it’s not that bad in my opinion. I guess it all depends on what you plan on doing in college. If you plan on partying all the time and getting wasted and stuff, then BYU would not be the place for you. I’m not into that stuff at all (I like to party, but I don’t like drinking or going crazy wild). So, BYU is great for me.</p>
<p>I find it funny that despite all of the limits of what they can bring there and whatnot i.e posters, video games, movies, they may still bring guns. BUT they must be locked up!</p>
<p>you need to learn more about texas. UT- Austin is NOT conservative. it’s one of the few blue counties in the state.</p>
<p>Yet President Bush continues to speak there considering there Anti-Catholic and anti-minority rules. They have also awarded George Wallace, Jesse Helms, and Strom Thurmond honorary degrees. Reagan championed hard for their tax exempt status.</p>
<p>UT is a mixed bag…it’s really more the city of Austin that’s liberal</p>
<p>You’re going to find ALOT of conservative students at UT…and alot of liberals too…infact, you’re going to find alot of just about everything (except openly gay people) at UT</p>
