I disagree. A frum person should go to college.
On a different level, it would be interesting to enter a typical frum shul in a typical frum neighborhood. For example, the Agudah in Far Rockaway. Take a survey of how many members went to college, and let’s ask two questions:
1. What percentage of these people regard themselves as frum?
2. What percentage of non-college members regard the college educated as frum?
I have an idea what the results would be. Since I did not carry out a scientific survey (one would benefit from a college education in planning this survey) on this issue, I do not know for sure, I only surmise what the results would be.
Of course, one premise would be that the above shul and neighborhood fit the commonly used criteria for inclusion in the “frum” world.
