Some students find new ways to explore and express religious attitudes, ideas and beliefs at college
FAITH LAPIDUS: Welcome to AMERICAN MOSAIC in VOA Special English.

I’m Faith Lapidus. Today on our show, we play music from singer Lana Del Rey.
We also answer a question from Burma about the way Americans elect a president.
But, first we go to real college to hear how some students combine religion with their school life.
College Religious Life
FAITH LAPIDUS: Going to college is often a chance for young adults to explore ideas and beliefs different from those they grew up with. As they do, college students are finding new ways to express their beliefs. As we hear from Christopher Cruise, American clergy say many young people are remaining true to their religious faith.

CHRISTOPHER CRUISE: A traditional observance gives Indian students a chance to share their faith and culture with others. Many did that at this recent event, says Chandni Raja of the Hindu Student Organization at the University of Southern California.
CHANDNI RAJA: “Meeting other groups on campus and trying to get that dialogue going, while also maintaining our own communities as a strong place where people can come together.”
Varun Soni works as dean of religious life at the University of Southern California. He says many students keep religion on their own terms.
