Facts of Life

College students with significant religious involvement have better emotional health than those with no involvement, according to new research from UCLA's Higher Education Research Institute. The study, drawing from a national survey of 3,680 college students, indicates that students who are not churchgoers are more than twice as likely to say they have felt depressed or had poorer emotional health than students who frequently attend religious services.
