Here's five more questions. For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street with The Point.

I just got an email from Oklahoma Wesleyan University titled, Five Questions you should ask on your next college visit.

They're good questions, but given the dismal state of higher education, here's five more.

First, why am I going? Too many 18-year-olds sign up to pay tens of thousands of dollars a year without knowing why they're there,

something the nationwide 40% dropout rate confirms.

Second, what ideas are assumed here?

Given today's world, students expect an education, but they often get indoctrination,

a barrage of subliminal messaging and social pressure designed to make them conform.

Third, can I defend my beliefs?

Recognizing bad ideas takes work. Defending good ones can be even harder.

Christian students need to know why they believe what they believe.

Fourth, how will I live like a Christian here?

Because the kingdom of God is not just a matter of mere talk.

It's of applied power.

Fifth, are there others like me here?

Because Christians should never be isolated

and a strand of three cords is not easily broken. College is a big deal, so Christians need to be

asking good questions. I'm John Stron Street.
