Students are less and less interested in organizing their lives around their parents' denomination. Why limit your future by limiting your options for higher education to the reassuring comfort of one cozy little sect ? Better to pick a purely secular school with strong departments in your potential major(s), and see more of the intellectual and social world than your familiar little corner.
