We are continuing our list of most conservative colleges in the Northwest with Houghton College that is a Christian liberal arts college in the western New York State. If you look at the Residence Life section of their website, you can see that their aim is to produce Christ-centered living and learning environment. Students are encouraged to exercise biblical maturity and avoid harmful practices including: drinking alcohol to excess, cheating, engaging in sexual relationships outside of marriage, the use of pornography, abuse of over the counter drugs, etc. Houghton College is a tobacco-free environment and usage of tobacco is forbidden on and off the campus. This set of behavioral expectations might be the reason this college (as well as all other colleges on this list) got a D+ by Niche, when it comes to Party Scene. All this is making it one of the most conservative colleges in the Northwest.
