Colleges that aren't religiously affiliated?

I'm trying to look into colleges that don't have any religious affiliation. While I respect everyone's beliefs, it's just that I would prefer a more secular environment for my college experience. Can anyone suggest some notable non-religious colleges?

There's a vast number of colleges that are not religiously affiliated, ranging from public institutions to private ones. Here are some examples across different regions and of varying selectivity:

1. Public universities are typically not religiously affiliated. Some well-known ones are the University of California schools (like UC Berkeley, and UCLA), the University of Michigan, and the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill.

2. Ivy League colleges such as Harvard, Princeton, and Yale are not religiously affiliated.

3. Well-regarded private institutions like Stanford University, California Institute of Technology (Caltech), and the University of Southern California are also secular.

4. Liberal arts colleges like Amherst, Williams, and Swarthmore are not religiously affiliated.

Bear in mind that some colleges that were originally founded on religious principles may not maintain a strong religious presence today. For example, many Jesuit colleges, like Georgetown University, emphasize a philosophy of education that respects all faiths and even no faith at all. So, while they have a religious heritage, their campus culture is often quite inclusive.

The key is to research each institution thoroughly to ensure the campus atmosphere aligns with your comfort and preference.
