Cedarville Magazine, Spring/Summer 2016

by Thomas White WeBelieve Beliefs matter. As final decisions for colleges and universities are being made by seniors all around the world, beliefs are rarely at the forefront of what higher education has to offer. “See our astronomical job placement rate,” says one well-regarded state university. “Look at howmany graduates we have enrolled in the Ivy Leagues,” entices another liberal arts school. “Our dorm life and campus experience are second to none,” offers a school along its campus tour. Of course, these aspects of university life are not bad things. As far as I can tell, many schools rightly strive to maintain what they perceive to be the highest academic standards, paired with excellent campus facilities, to equip students successfully for a competitive job market. 2 | Cedarville Magazine
