I really have no clue. If I had to guess it would be Miss State or Alabama.

The most conservative SEC state is Florida but no big university is conservative.

Oklahoma and Arkansas are far more conservative as states.

seems as though state universities that specialize in Agricultural and Mechanical Sciences are much more likely to support a conservative approach in terms of their community, curriculum, faculty and student body…so in the SEC I’d expect Mississippi State, Auburn and Texas A&M to be among the most conservative.

along w/ (in no particular order) Arkansas, Kentucky, Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee and Oklahoma. also Ole Miss still seems to be pretty conservative, despite their best efforts at changing that heh

just off the top of my head: BYU, Liberty and Baylor all fit the bill. that said, I’m hard-pressed to think of a large, conservative university that wasn’t founded with a religious affiliation…Texas A&M?

The A&M schools have always had people that I got along better with. However, with DEI initiatives, you may find more conservative students at the uni, but the faculty and the administration are for sure not, even in College Station. aTm was outed on how much they spent on DEI, which caused the legislature to do this.

Everyone was sorta fine letting UT do it's liberal garbage, because there was supposed to be a public university counterweight in aTm. Once aggy got exposed, they found out. Always like the liberals, overstepping until they get their wee wees slapped.

Auburn, MSU, and Arkansas, probably had the most conservative student bodies back in the day. Alumni too. Never had a problem with any. Eatin, drinkin, and everyone forgets what color you're wearing, as it should be, until kickoff. Still have a Supper Club card in my ride. I'd rather my kid go to AU or MSU than LSU, UTexas or A&M. Arky is just too damned cold, but damn those MFers can eat. Love it. Almost all great, normal people, parents and kids, regardless of age.

The only thing that really matters is interviewing the department head for you or your kid. Any college kid is going to get dumped on with liberal garbage, as the uni dictates, but can largely be check-boxed

If your graduation coach (or whatever the the hell they call them now) insists that you let everyone know how much their freak flag fly as a de facto condition of graduation. I'd tell them to FO. But, no parent is going to learn that until it is too late. I suspect AU would be better off than LSU by a hair. A&M colleges seem to be more lax (not aggy, until proven otherwise, their subterfuge with their alumni and donors, is stunning,)

aggy, I just rated StarkVegas and Auburn above you. They didn't sell cold beer in StarkVegas back in old man day, in the 2000s. Suck it.

Texas, Alabama, and some others, have attracted a lot of out of region students since Saban's run, and not from the TVA areas, which brings an increased level of ... a lack of education about the real world, if I can put it that way. Georgia seems to have been that way for long before 2016.

Although, now I'm thinking about all the jorts that shows up in BTR when UF tailgated. Does that qualify them as conservative (never been to UF.)

I'm not even going to bother to edit it, because I'll miss something, and someone will rightfully shite on me again.

They're certainly the only sec state to setup border stops and require citizens to show papers.

Auburn has been rated as the best public U in the nation for free speech - ie, not DEI-censored.

Alabama has one of the nation's most quoted - and debunked - anti-gun researchers in the nation on their faculty. UAT has always been all about the latest fashion, DEI is no different.

Aggie has a conservative student body and ex students, but their admin has tried hard to slip in DEI. It's an ongoing battle.

UTexas was old-school liberal as recently as 1991, but even then combative radical liberals were making themselves felt. It's nothing more than a DEI indoctrination center now, living on past academic glories. I say that as a two-time Texas Ex.

My oldest is a freshman at A&M. It is a much more conservative school than Florida. It is probably one of the most conservative in sec. Maybe even #1 in sec.

You're completely misguided. I'm surrounded by people that have graduated from A&M, have kids in A&M, run businesses in College Station, etc.

Your kid may be self-isolating, but A&M is not as conservative as you think. Even the Eagle (local paper, which I actually appreciate) touts DEI . This has been going on for a long time. Whether your kid feels the impact or not, taxpayers and parents funnel millions of dollars into aTm. Just closed down the campus you had in Qatar where you funneled IP to terrorist sponsoring organizations? That's you, aggy.
