Freitas discovered that “evangelical campus culture is religiously infused on every level.” Students who attend evangelical schools tend to expect that their peers are Christian, attend church, study the Bible, and pray often. Within evangelical student campus culture, the focus is on courtship and marriage while emphasizing chastity. Freitas says that “a quest for purity and chastity reigns supreme on these campuses.”

I haven't read the entire article but I would also suggest that Christians at secular universities have similar views as those at evangelical universities. Hmmmmmmm....I wonder why??? ;O)

Ironically, some secular universities have a much stronger Catholic student life than some so-called "Catholic" ones, too.

I know the chaplain at Vanderbilt personally; he's doing great things. Illinois and Texas A&M have a very good reputation. They even have a "Catholic dorm" (not university housing, obviously) at Illinois so kids can escape the evil and debauchery of a regular dorm.
