Tell me about Sewanee: The University of the South

My nephew is talking about maybe going to Sewanee. I don't know much about it. Wiki tells me it is a liberal arts college. Will going there turn him into some flaming SJW?

Country club for the really rich old South type people to send kids too dumb to get into Vandy but not dumb enough to have to go to Ole Miss.

Yes. Liberals get their degrees at these colleges.

Former board member and father of an alumnus. Excellent school, expensive and mountainous. More libs than conservatives for sure. Some SJW crap but not overwhelming.

He will become literally too smart to vote for Trump, since Trump's base is uneducated whites.

Liberal arts =/= liberal. It just means that the college has a core curriculum emphasizing a broad background and critical thinking. Usually it also means lots of writing across the curriculum.

Maybe true but here's an anecdote.
Guy in my Tulane law school class went there. Law Review and worked at White & Case out of law school. And is incredibly normal as well.
So as most things, it's what you put in to it.

Trump won college educated whites as well.

Liberal arts just varies so much
If you get a poli sci degree and most of your classes are like "race privilege and voting" and "feminism and the courts" then sure, you're going to turn into a SJW or you'll kill yourself first
Or, you can go get the same degree and take "Thatcher and the Cold War" or "Pinochet's government 1980-1989" or "intro to federal indian lands law" and you may not. No reason you can't get a heavy dose of academic rigor in lib arts.

I had a couple law school classmates from Sewanee
Both were a little off, but both were smart and well liked. Both very successful.
It's old school, which is a good thing for liberal arts.

Affiliated with the Episcopal Church...actually owned by several dioceses of the church. It is a big seminary for the church as well.
I would guess that whatever your view is of the Episcopal Church might be a good guide for what you think of Sewanee.
