[quote=Anonymous]Our kid from a similar background in a somewhat similar situation did something very practical that helped them make their decision. They found the school's intervaristy Christian community on the web, and when they were visiting, they had coffee with one of the student leaders to discuss. This is a school known to be one of the "wokest" though I don't like the term. The Christian community was close-knit and vibrant and the students very happy. But our kid sensed self-censorship in the community based on what the student said. I didn't see that from the conversations relayed, but in the end, despite all the money and perfect academic fit, our kid just couldn't make the leap. They were too worried and uncomfortable about it. They are happy at the school they have chosen, which I would call relatively apolitical for today's environment. I would recommend your kid reaching out to the Christian community that fits your faith background. It is the only way to get into a glimpse of what things might really be like. Also consider, though, whether your kid is independent-minded enough to be part of a counter-cultural group in the face of strong contrary currents. Our kid didn't want all the stress. They wanted to enjoy college.  [/quote]
