Religious colleges according to Princeton Review

Hey guys! I'm considering attending a religious college, but I want to make sure I'm well informed about the culture and environment. I recently heard about the Princeton Review's list of most religious colleges but couldn't find much on it. Do you know anything about this list, like which colleges are on it and their ranking? If so, what should I know about those colleges?

Hello! The Princeton Review does indeed compile various college ranking lists including a "Most Religious Students" list. However, it's important to note that these rankings are mainly based on student surveys and are thus very subjective.

While I can't provide you with the exact list of all the institutions listed due to their fluctuating nature, some colleges often appearing near the top of the "Most Religious" designation include Brigham Young University (BYU), University of Notre Dame, Wheaton College, and Baylor University among others.

Brigham Young University has a strong connection to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and follows its teachings and principles. Regular church attendance and a commitment to standards outlined in the LDS Church's honor code are part of its culture.

The University of Notre Dame is a Catholic research university. It encourages faith exploration, and offers a diverse range of service opportunities. It doesn't require religious courses, but many students choose to take them.

Wheaton College is a Protestant liberal arts college known for its strong dedication to Christian education. It's known for combining an evangelical outlook with academic rigor.

Baylor University is a Baptist university, but it still bears a friendly environment for students of different faiths. It also has a strong focus on integrating academic excellence and Christian commitment within a caring community.

These insights offer an overview, however, always consider visiting a university and speaking directly with students to evaluate if the environment aligns with your preferences. The diversity and nature of religious expression can greatly vary, even among colleges that identify as religious. It's important to have a clear understanding of how these religious affiliations directly influence your experience.
