<p>I went to church in college, not always weekly. Avoided campus Christian groups. All belief systems, religions or not, were respected at the Ivy I attended. </p>
<p>Religion never came up as an independent issue. My brother attended the same Ivy, and he went to church weekly with many of his frat brothers. </p>
<p>When you speak of “vibrant Christian fellowship”, that is going to be quite different at different schools. Really he needs to visit schools to get a feel for organizations that would meet his needs. For example, there were multiple religious-affiliated organizations where I attended college, but some were limited to local outreach like helping the homeless and so on. Others were essentially lifestyles - they had daily dinners, special services for members at their local house of worship and so on. I had friends who were very into their religious group, to the point that it was essentially a fraternity.</p>
<p>If he is looking for something like that, not just a weekly meeting and talk about the Bible and maybe do something every month or two socially, but true “fellowship”, he better look around. Hopefully he will get into Brown ED and you can help him explore those options. RI is known for religious tolerance in general.</p>
