<p>I would respect your son’s concerns about Westminster. </p>
<p>Mormon girls definitely want to marry someone who is also LDS, and are typically dating with finding a spouse in mind.</p>
<p>More importantly, though, the LDS way of life is all-consuming, not a Sunday morning only type of thing. When 40% of the student body all share a faith, and a very homogenous lifestyle, this will have a big impact on the feel of the school. I’m stumbling to say this diplomatically. Maybe your son doesn’t quite know how to explain it in a way that makes sense to you, but it is still valid.</p>
<p>There were several schools my d. visited that just didn’t feel right to her. Basically the students there were not her type. When she tried to articulate it, it sounded bizarre like “the girls there wear short skirts on snowy days” but I understood that she just didn’t feel like these were her people. </p>
<p>Imagine a workplace where you just don’t have much in common with anyone on the job. Now imagine you are required to live with those people 24 hours a day, share meals with them, and most weekends you stay on the job, too. If there was a good job elsewhere with people you felt like were “your type of folks” wouldn’t you be tempted to take it instead?</p>
