The College Conservative reports.

Finding Conservatism in the Most Liberal of Places

It’s very nice to be writing for The College Conservative again. Since my last article, I have spent three months in Europe studying at Oxford University, where I took two tutorials in economics. Two of those months were spent attempting to teach myself the ins and outs of graduate level material, and one month traveling to a number of places in Europe. I learned an incredible amount at Oxford, and it was an experience I will be proud of and continue to reflect on for the rest of my life.

I’ll spare everyone the “I’m-A-Study-Abroad-Student-And-I-Know-More-About-The-World-Than-You-Because-When-I-Was-In-Europe” schtick, and just say this: I feel more ignorant now than ever before since my time spent in England and elsewhere. However, I don’t mean this in a liberal sense, which generally means deifying European culture and asking what we can do to become more like them (read: healthcare). I mean this in a conservative sense: I learned more about conservatism and America’s place in the world than I had thought possible to take from such a liberal place.
