both of those things are insignificant compared to education
Wrong. To some people like me those things are very important. Being in a setting that's constantly berating your ideals is not the most comfortable thing.

i don't recall any of those becoming a subject of discussion in my engineering courses
were you taking religion or family studies courses?
Sociology, Criminal Justice, Economics, Poli Sci, Philosophy, essentially any humanities courses i'v taken had a subliminally left bias. Even in my calculus class i recall the professor and Bernie bro openly attacking Trump, mid class.

So what is your concern? That college will turn you liberal? Or that you can't handle other students disagreeing with you?
My concern is that a college graduate like yourself is dumb enough to make some overarching claim without understanding the causes. Next time maybe try a little critical thinking? Maybe it's not about conservatives being against formal education? Maybe it's because those institutions try to put some ideals above others?
I'm on my second degree now, i'm more grounded in what i believe more than ever, but in many classes left-leaning ideas are presented as fact, while conservative ideals are punchlines.
