On secular campuses across the country, professors and administrators say students are drawn to religion and spirituality with more fervor than at any time they can remember. According to a recent article in the New York Times, more students are enrolling in religion courses, even majoring in religion; more are living in dorms or houses where matters of faith and spirituality are a part of daily conversation; and discussion groups are being created for students to grapple with questions like what happens after death, finds UCLA's Higher Education Research Institute study. The survey reports 66% of students pray and 80% believe in God. Nearly 50% of the freshmen are seeking opportunities to grow spiritually. Officials credit the surge of interest partly as a result of the rise of the religious right, 9/11 and an influx of evangelical students at secular universities, along with an increasing number of international students with a broader array of religious experiences.
