College students on a spiritual journey...to where?

The UCLA Higher Education Research Institute recently released numbers on its "Spirituality in Higher Education" survey. According to the research, of the 112,000 students surveyed, 75% of them are "on a quest to find meaning, purpose, and God," as mentioned in a World Magazine tidbit.

However, most students who attend worship services in high school abandon these by their junior year in college, the report said. In a recent edition of World Magazine, Gene Edward Veith laments the reality that parents send their kids to a particular college because of the prestige, sports program, or perceived economic advantage and not based on the information that's promulgated in the classroom.

Distance learners, including CollegePlus! students, have much less concern of walking away from God than their traditional college counterparts. Instead of subjecting themselves to the rantings of liberal professors, they have the final say on all information they take in. Regardless of how much college professors indoctrinate their listeners, CollegePlus! students continue to be the masters of their education.
