(NEXSTAR) - When leaving for college, many young students will begin to find their identity in terms of their political stance. Whether that stance leans more to the left or right can be influenced by where these students choose to attend school.

Niche.com, which annually ranks the top colleges and universities in the country, has released a list of the "Most Conservative Colleges" in the U.S.

To find this, current college students and recent graduates across the country reported how they leaned politically, as well as their opinions on how other students at their school leaned.

Landing at the top of the list as the "most conservative" college was Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia.

Liberty has more than 50,000 undergraduate students who attend the school and a 99% acceptance rate, according to Niche. The university states that it believes in "developing Christ-centered men and women with the values, knowledge, and skills to impact their world."

Next on the list was Grove City College found in Grove City, Pennsylvania, followed by Brigham Young University-Idaho in Rexburg, Idaho. Tennessee's own Lee University came in at 17.

Here's the list of the top 25 conservative colleges:
