Many elite institutions of higher learning are hostile to religion--it's highly ironic, given that the world's greatest universities were founded as Christian institutions. The Christian Science Monitor reports that some students seem to be going back to their Christian roots--and picking a college that harmonizes with their religion:
"In these politically polarized times, a rising number of top conservative students are politicizing their school choices. Instead of going to a Princeton or Stanford, they're opting for less costly home-state universities or smaller schools that see themselves as standard bearers of Christian values and laissez-faire governance. Such choices are perhaps a boon to those who intend to pursue careers in politics, since conservative think tanks increasingly are recruiting from these colleges.
"'Schools like Grove City, Brigham Young, and Hillsdale are some of our more popular schools,' says Elizabeth Williams, intern coordinator for the conservative Heritage Foundation, in an e-mail. 'Their students are usually of very high caliber.'"
