Stereotypically, religion is considered to be antithetical to most college students’ educational experiences. The stereotype is alive and well at Macalester College, which is included in the Princeton Review’s Top 20 list of campuses where students “Ignore God on a Regular Basis.” But an article by Emily Joan Smith and Annie Esmé Lewine find that, contrary to popular belief, students are active in, and dedicated to, a number of religious groups on campus.
