You are now in the midst of applying for admission to university. Here is a letter from an unhappy college student which may be of relevance for the choices you are now making:<\/p>\n

My name is XYZ. In my current university, numerous professors label me as a cultist and an ideologue, as I am a student of the Austrian school; put simply, I am also an anarchist. My question is, why do mainstream economic\/political science professors label students of the Austrian school as cultists? Is it because we neglect positivism as we study economics through the lens of praxeology? Moreover, I can understand how one would think Randians are cultists, but us Austrians never verbally shout \u201cno you\u2019re wrong, get out of here!\u201d \u2014 as Rand would do.<\/p>\n

Now to answer your question. Why do they that act that way? I think your assessment is accurate. Your plight may also be due to the fact that we Austrians eschew mathematics as a theoretical tool, and view econometrics\/statistics not as means to test theories, but merely to illustrate them; as attempts to determine historical facts. Your professors also dismiss libertarianism since the views of most of them list sharply to the left on college campuses<\/p>\n

I receive numerous letters of this sort. It occurs to me that it is a lot easier to choose a good university in the first place, rather than get settled in one, become unhappy with your choice, such as is the case with XYZ, and then transfer elsewhere.<\/p>\n

So, which universities should you attend if you like Austrian economics, the…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
