This past year, I finally threw away a glossy Yale admissions booklet that had been collecting dust on my bookshelf for four years. I didn’t even realize, until recently, why I had placed it there in the first place — it was a kind of subconscious shrine, a symbol of the future I thought I was destined for. Yale, after all, was everything a high school student could dream of: world-class professors, once-in-a-lifetime opportunities and gothic architecture that seemed to promise wisdom within its very stones. 

When the letters started coming, it felt surreal. But to the shock of many of my friends, I turned Yale down. I chose a small Bible college instead. 

At first, I wrestled with the decision. Like many high-achievers, I had grown up believing that the Ivy League represented the pinnacle of education, the proof that you were among the "best of the best." To toss that aside seemed nothing but reckless. But as I waited and listened to the counsel of my parents, I began reading more deeply about Yale and its cultural drift. Faculty who expressed dissenting opinions denied tenure. Guest speakers with unpopular views disinvited. A once-proud institution of intellectual diversity increasingly resembling a gated community of ideological conformity. 

GEN Z EMBRACES THE BIBLE IN UNEXPECTED GLOBAL SPIRITUAL AWAKENING

That decision wasn’t about fear, or self-doubt, or even finances. It was about conviction. Somewhere along the way, Yale — and institutions like it — ceased to represent the kind of education I longed for. What once stood for intellectual rigor and freedom has been replaced by fragility and indoctrination. The university that shaped presidents and poets now seems more intent on shaping activists who must be shielded from uncomfortable truths. 

Yale might offer a great line on a resume, but a small Bible college gives spiritual growth. (Yana Paskova/Getty Images, File)
