If a student is a committed Christian, they should probably not go to a specifically Christian university. Instead, head for somewhere secular that offers a high academic standard. It is important that college years are used to expand your intellectual horizons and give an opportunity to meet and mix with those of different backgrounds and viewpoints. It can only be good to encounter a wide mix of people and ideas. If Christian faith is strong, questioning aspects of ones beliefs and opinions can only be a good thing, leading to discernment and honing of one's views.
