None of the listed schools appear to be universities or public higher education institutions. As such, they may be very expensive and limited in their capacity to provide many options insofar as major fields and broad learning experiences are concerned. There are excellent conservative universities such as Texas A&M that do so and are likely much cheaper to boot.

I think many of these COLLEGES have excellent scholarship programs that mitigate your 'expensive' critique and I think that the small student body sizes would go a long way towards keeping a student out of the 300 seat classrooms found in many of the larger UNIVERSITIES. Of course the usual criteria apply in that a lack-a-dasical student will get little out of either type while a max SAT/ACT impassioned student will do well at any!

A&M has a lot of conservative alumni and students, but it relies on public money, so can never be truly conservative. The faculty (outside the colleges of engineering and agriculture) has plenty of liberals.

The 2nd listed college, College of the Ozarks, is totally tuition free with its work study program. Others probably have financing to cover costs so the bottom line is most are no more or less expensive than the state schools which would attract a broader (i.e., more liberal) spectrum of society.
