| Where we live, there are 2 small, conservative Christian colleges: one in our town and the other within 30 miles. Of students at our HS who do not attend one of our state schools, I would estimate that more than 80% choose one of these two colleges.
FWIW, and I am not advocating Duke for your D, one of the best things about going to Duke for our son is the religious and ethnic diversity he encountered. He was accustomed to much evangelizing, proselytizing and judging in our home town. Not much inquiry and analysis. At Duke, he encountered people who were genuinely curious and interested about others' belief systems and experiences. I heard about many late-night discussions in the freshman dorm about these things. He has friends who practice religions I had never heard of before. (Do you have any idea how many religions there are in India? I didn't.)
As I said, this is just FWIW! |
