Where did these rankings come from?
Both lists are based on students’ answers to the survey question that asked “How much do you agree or disagree with the statement: Students are very religious at my college.” Students indicated their answers on a five- point grid with choices ranging from “Strongly agree” to “Strongly disagree.”
Any surprises on the list?
