Good advice from Mike Adams for any student attending any university/college.

Check it out very thoroughly first.

My kids went to big name secular universities and came out faith intact.

They all majored in something that was in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) fields, which tend to be more conservative and not front loaded with gaystapo.

They were careful about what electives they took for their English, History, etc, requirements. They were also active in Christian campus ministries and attended church regularly.

There is some degree of control that a even student living on campus can exert over what they are exposed to. There will be stuff they encounter that can’t be helped, but over all, they can avoid the worst of it. Mine did. They picked their activities and friends wisely.

They knew who they were, what they believed, and why they believed it before they went to college. That is tremendous insulation against the attacks of the enemy.

This was our family’s experience as well.

I refer to this as “being armored up”. Put on that Full Armor of God.

My oldest is headed to college this fall, and I think he’ll be happy there. It’s a secular college. But, fortunately, he has a sense of humor... and a way of laughing at things that make no sense. He’s prepared and knows what to expect there. And his major is a STEM major. So I’m hoping he won’t be influenced the wrong way too much.

I did tell him to seek out the Christian groups, even though he’s not officially Christian. He agrees with Christians more than he disagrees. I hope he’ll take my advice, but the fact is, once he’s there, he’s on his own.

Or you could have them attend/view training sessions from the Leadership Institute and have them change the campus culture. Conservatives shouldn’t be in the minority or hermits.
