Young people tend to take a left turn in college. Not so in Texas. Student bodies in tune with right-wing values thrive in a few of the state's top colleges.

The Princeton Review released last week its annual list of the 380 best colleges in America. Among those nearly 400 schools, the publication narrowed down a list of the most conservative student bodies. Three Texas universities figured

into the top 15.

Those schools -- Texas A&M, Baylor and the University of Dallas -- feature in other categories often associated with right-of-center politics.

Students at all three institutions are some of the nation's most religious and least welcoming to LGBTQ students. Angelo State University, in San Angelo, is also a top religious school. Baylor, a private Baptist university, also earned a spot

under a category called "Scotch and Soda, Hold the Scotch." (Mormon school Brigham Young University ranked no. 1 overall in that area).

Texas A&M at College Station, which has one of the largest undergraduate enrollments in the nation, has the most conservative student body on campus, according to the Princeton Review.

Almost all of the conservative schools also featured on a list of the politically neutral "Future Rotarians and Daughters of the American Revolution." These organizations are officially politically neutral, but clearly have some

commonalities with top conservative schools.
