<p>The overwhelming majority of well-meaning American kids would not care for a truly “conservative” university campus – that’s why the authors of “Choosing The Right College” spend most of the book dissing only the most popular colleges in the country; if they spent it promoting the handful of colleges that actually fit their viewpoints, no one would buy it.</p>
<p>IMO, most debates about where colleges fit on the liberal/conservative divide (a purely American pastime, btw) have little to do with ideology per se, but with how you view college life: should it be completely frivolous and care-free for four years, or spent in a complete state of cognitive dissonance? Fortunately (or, unfortunately), there’s no true test case for either side. Because of a little something called, “workload”, most people have only a limited time to play OR protest.</p>
