I am sad for my 18 year old conservative daughter who will have to deal with these jerks next year in college.
Don’t let her go to college. Not one of ‘those’ colleges. She’ll either be traumatized or come back a commie zombie, but I repeat myself. Let her go to Hillsdale or not at all. I know this is presumptuous and may not apply to your situation at all, for that I apologize.
Depending on her personality, she may have fun eating their lunch. She's heard all of their (stupid, unsophisticated) arguments, and they've never heard hers.
If she's not the "happy warrior" type, I agree Hillsdale is a good choice, or any college in the Newman Guide. Those are Catholic colleges, but plenty of non-Catholics go to them as well. No trashy behavior is tolerated, lots of community fun and normal dating--no hook-up crap. They all offer a great, well-rounded, classical education that's good preparation for anything. (E.g., my son-in-law is in wealth management at a huge bank, and is being courted by hedge funds.) At most of these schools, the campuses are are practically snowflake-free--faculty, students, and administration.
And you know what's most scandalous about all the colleges I just mentioned? After they graduate, these students have been known to GET MARRIED and produce GRANDCHILDREN without waiting around for 20 years.
It should be mentioned that even some conventional colleges have substantial cadres of conservative, Christian, or specifically Catholic students who group together and have conservative faculty advisors and do events and parties together. But if the the administration isn't conservative, the social atmosphere surrounding the kids can still be corrosive to morals. I think that's important to avoid.
my 18 year-old conservative daughter found other good people at her campus church group. She is at Mississippi State University, which is on the list of 100 most conservative colleges.
There are no doubt some people who would not like her outlook, in a school of 20,000 + students. However, there is a general level of courtesy there, and it is unlikely she will ever be confronted by anybody in a rude way when she is there.
Send her to one of the few "good" schools, like Liberty or Hillsdale and you will minimize that factor.
Why send her to college? Did you ever consider sending her to a trade school? There are hundreds of options so I dare not suggest just one of them. These schools focus on the trade and not the liberals arts requirements that a college forces on the student which is mainly where the left has taken over.
