Coming into college I may have not been the most religious person. Considering that I went from going from to a giant public high school to a medium sized catholic university was quite the risk. Deciding to attend a 4 year catholic university has turned out to be one of the smartest decisions I have made. The requirement of having to take two semesters of a religion class may be a pain, but in the end, I can say it has definitely made me grow as a person. Here are some quotes pulled from reading the Bible in class that college students seemed to connect with the most.
