[serious] why are there so many

by:    

Why are there so many conservative leaning people that come to this school? (I respect both conservatives and liberals BTW.)

When I go to party at IU, UMich, UIUC I notice there is a much more liberal vibe all around. What specifically about Purdue attracts a noticeably higher ratio of conservatives? (And no, I am not talking about the engineers.)

Could possible be because we are in Indiana. Also Purdue is more known for engineering over liberal arts. I feel most engineers won’t support free health care Bc it’s included in their insurance. And engineering and any stem major especially at Purdue wouldn’t like it if you could get good insurance without putting in the work

IU is also in Indiana but the campus feels way more liberal.

Like I said in my OP, I am not talking about the engineers. I am talking about Greek Life, who a lot of are not in engineering/STEM whatsoever.....

A lot of the men’s majors not in engineering are in either construction management, Krannert, or ag, or selling sales. I’d argue all of these could have a tendency to be right over majors at other schools

I'm in engineering, about to graduate this semester, and I acted pretty standoffish toward people here given that most come from conservative families. TBH I probably would've fit in better at IU but oh well. I only came here for engineering and get a job lined up after graduation which I successfully have.

"given that most come from conservative families"

So you noticed that to. Why do you think this school has such a much higher/much more noticeable ratio when compared to other midwest big ten unis?
