TCC’s Guide for Back-To-Campus
Aug 16 by Lindsey Kolb

For some of you reading this, you’ve already been in college for a while. For others, this will be your first fall semester in college as a freshman. You’ll be shocked that you are one of the only ones around that’s a Conservative. To help alleviate this frustration, here’s a guide for the Conservative college students headed back to campus:

1. Head’s up, everyone that surrounds you on campus, including professors and students will more than likely be liberal. It’s the constant struggle that all Conservative college students face. At times you may feel like you’re one in a million because your political views are so different than the people around you. Don’t be discouraged, there are Conservatives on your campus–I promise. You just have to find them.

2. The classes will be biased–mostly against you. Don’t be afraid to speak up even if your opinion is different than your professors. However, do not be rude. They are still your professor and they are in charge of the classroom. If a professor ever truly picks on you in a distasteful way about your beliefs being different than his or hers, contact an administrator. Some good administrators to start out having conversations with are you college’s Vice President of Student Affairs, the Dean of Students, or the department head of that specific academic area. Having differing opinions is okay in a college setting; being mistreated because of them is not okay and should not be tolerated.

3. You will be shocked at how easily students absorb Liberal teachings. Some conservative students even get swept away by these teachers and change their morals and ideals. Don’t fall into this trap. Keep thinking and reasoning for yourself.

4. Join a Conservative organization. Nearly all colleges will have a College Republicans, Young Americans for Liberty, Young Americans Foundation, or some other Conservative group. Joining these groups from the start can help weed out some of the Democrat trolls who will despise your existence because you are a Republican. You will always feel more at home and be in good company around fellow Conservatives.LINK
